Inflatable Seals

About Inflatable Seals

Inflatable seals are elastomeric tubes designed to expand and round out with the introduction of a medium (usually air) to form a tight barrier between a mounting and striking surface. Inflatable seals are used to form barriers between uneven surfaces to maintain pressure or keep out moisture and contaminants. They can be custom-molded into a specific configuration depending on the application and can be concave, convoluted, or flat. The plane configuration of an inflatable seal can be radial in, radial out, or axial.

The inflation medium and operating pressure for inflatable seals depends upon the application. In some instances, inflatable seals may be filled with a liquid or gel to reach the optimum operating pressure. Once inflated, the seal forms a tight connection between the two surfaces, ensuring a leak-proof closure. Deflating the seal returns it to its initial configuration.
