Profiles, Bellows and Grommets

Rubber profiles, bellows and grommets provide distinct protective and sealing functions around edges, moving machine parts and cable entries. The category groups only these three product families.

Rubber profiles provide shaped cross-sections for duties where weather and water resistance can be important. Folding bellows shield dynamic machine parts from dirt and dust and absorb vibration. Feed-through and cable grommets protect cables, pipes and tubes at openings in metal, enclosures, control cabinets, machines and equipment.

Profiles are used across sectors where protection from weather and water is required. Bellows protect moving machine components from external influences. Grommets close cable outlets or guide cables, pipes and tubes safely through an opening.

First determine whether the task is edge sealing, protection of a moving component or protection at an entry point. For profiles, select the suitable shape and material. For bellows, check the movement range to be covered. For grommets, match the opening, cable or pipe diameter and material to the enclosure.

Rubber profiles are available in varied shapes and materials; feed-through and cable grommets are also supplied in different materials, while folding bellows protect against dirt and dust and absorb vibration.

Frequently asked questions

Rubber profiles are used where a shaped rubber section is required and weather or water resistance can be important. Select the profile shape and material for the mounting position and surrounding conditions.

A folding bellow protects dynamic machine components from dirt, dust and other external influences. It can also absorb vibration while allowing the enclosed component to move.

A feed-through grommet protects cables at an opening in metal or an enclosure. It can close a cable outlet and guide cables, pipes or tubes through control cabinets, machines and equipment.

Check both the opening in the enclosure and the outside diameter of the cable, pipe or tube. The grommet must suit both dimensions and use a material appropriate for the environment.
