As in the case of the production of other types of rubber products – the positive properties of rubber as a material play the biggest role in the production of grommets. Since rubber is a good thermal insulator, as well as waterproof – this makes it an ideal material that can be used for sealing. The rubber is the very material that we use to make various lids, which have a protective and insulating purpose. Such rubber lids are most often used in the automotive industry, electrical industry – but equally in other industries and households.
Rubber lid grommet is a product that can be made in many sizes. If it is used in the industry for thermal and electrical insulation of factory machine parts – its dimensions are certainly larger. Also, rubber grommet lid is used in the automotive industry, and then they are mostly made in medium sizes. Their purpose is to protect car cables, but at the same time, their sealing ability prevents fuel or oil from reaching where they should not be. We will also see a rubber grommet lid on the pipes that conduct oil or fuel because such grommets have a protective and fixing purpose. As a material, rubber is resistant to substances such as oil or fuel – and it is also very resistant to high temperatures – so it is a good insulator even in the case of engine overheating.
Of course, a rubber grommet lid can also be made in small dimensions. Such a small-dimension rubber grommet lid is most commonly used in the electrical industry. We can see them as components on computers, televisions – but equally on small home appliances. When we talk about the application of rubber grommet lids in the mechanical, machine, or electrical industry – we must mention another important feature, and that is vibration protection. Namely, all electrical appliances, as well as larger machines in the industry, create a wide range of vibrations – and that can affect the proper operation of a device. Rubber grommet lid has an additional role here – and that is to partially absorb such vibrations, so that the device and the machine can work properly and thus have a longer operating life.
