Rubber Pass-Through Grommets
Rubber pass-through grommets provide a local interface around a cable or tube crossing a panel. The part must match the cutout, panel thickness and passage requirements.
APPLICATIONS & SELECTION
Rubber Knockout Grommets
A rubber knockout grommet provides a specified interface at a panel opening. For cable routing, it helps reduce contact between the cable jacket and the cut edge.
APPLICATIONS & SELECTION
Rubber Grommets with Sleeves
A sleeve extends a grommet's passage beyond the mounting surface. It can guide a cable locally when the profile and length suit the installation.

Rubber Grommets with Metal Inserts: Specification
A metal insert adds a defined feature to a rubber component, such as a sleeve for a fastener or a mounting interface. It does not automatically improve…
APPLICATIONS & SELECTION
Rubber Grommet Types and Profiles
Rubber grommets can be described by function, mounting profile and shape. These categories overlap and should not be treated as one universal numbered list.
APPLICATIONS & SELECTION
Rubber Grommet Sleeves
A rubber grommet sleeve extends the local interface around a cable or tube. Its dimensions and retaining profile must suit the mounting opening and required support length.
APPLICATIONS & SELECTION
Rubber Grommet Seals: Defining the Interface
A rubber grommet seal must be specified for its mating surfaces and exposure. A closed center alone does not establish an airtight or pressure-tight closure.
APPLICATIONS & SELECTION
Rubber Grommet Plugs for Unused Panel Holes
A closed rubber grommet plug covers an unused panel opening. Its retaining profile must fit the hole and panel thickness so that it stays seated in the…
