Manufacturing Tolerances for Moulded & Extruded Rubber

All products are visually inspected for compliance
with the customer’s requirements and our
stringent workmanship standards.
The choice between a moulded and extruded seal
is often a compromise between tolerances and
tooling costs.
If new tooling is required to manufacture the
product then an extrusion die is a cheaper
alternative to machining a mould.
Minimum order requirements may be requested.
A comparison of dimensional tolerances for rubber
mouldings (Class M4) and extrusions (Class E3),
as per the International Standard ISO3302, is
summarised below.
