Custom Rubber Washers

Category: Rubber Washers & Sealing Discs

Custom rubber washers are annular components defined by their inner diameter, outer diameter and thickness. Hongjie manufactures washers to drawings or samples, with compound selection based on contact media, operating temperature, compression load and environmental exposure.

Key Features

Washer Geometry and Design Inputs

Custom rubber washers are annular components with a defined inner diameter, outer diameter and thickness. Geometry, hardness and material should be specified together with the working medium, temperature and compression conditions.

  • Inner and Outer Diameter

    Define ID and OD from the bolt, shaft, opening and available contact area.

  • Thickness and Tolerance

    Specify washer thickness and any critical dimensional tolerances that affect fit or sealing.

  • Hardness and Compression

    Select hardness according to required deformation, clamping force and compression behavior.

  • Working Medium

    Identify contact with oil, water, fuel, air or chemicals before compound selection.

  • Operating Temperature

    Provide normal and maximum temperatures so the rubber compound can be reviewed for the service range.

  • Drawing-Based Review

    Drawings or samples help confirm geometry, tolerances and installation requirements before quotation.

Technical Data

Washer Specifications & Material Selection

Define geometry and service conditions before selecting the rubber compound. The table below summarizes the main inputs used for engineering review.

Product Specifications

Manufacturing Basis Drawing, dimensions, or physical sample
Inner Diameter (ID) Defined by drawing or mating component
Outer Diameter (OD) Defined by drawing or available contact area
Thickness Defined by groove depth, spacing, or compression requirement
Hardness Selected according to load and deformation requirements
Critical Tolerances ID, OD, thickness, and other drawing-defined dimensions
Working Medium Oil, water, fuel, air, or application-specific media
Operating Temperature Normal and maximum service temperature required
Compression Requirement Clamping load, target compression, or sealing condition
Material Options NBR, EPDM, FKM, Silicone, HNBR, Neoprene
Compliance Options FDA, NSF, RoHS, REACH where required
Inspection Dimensional and visual inspection to agreed specifications
Application Review Medium, temperature, load, environment, and annual quantity

Material Selection by Working Medium

  • EPDM Rubber

    Consider EPDM for water, weather and ozone exposure when petroleum oils are not the primary contact medium.

    Water Weather Ozone
  • NBR Rubber

    Commonly selected for petroleum-based oils, lubricants and grease where oil resistance is a primary requirement.

    Oil Grease Abrasion
  • Silicone Rubber

    Consider silicone where temperature flexibility or specific cleanliness or compliance requirements are important.

    Temperature Range Flexible Clean Grades
  • HNBR Rubber

    Used where improved heat, oil and wear resistance is required compared with standard NBR.

    Hot Oil Heat Wear
  • Neoprene Rubber

    General-purpose option for weather exposure, abrasion and contact with selected mild chemicals.

    Weather Abrasion Mild Chemicals
  • FKM Rubber

    Consider FKM for fuels, oils, elevated temperatures and more demanding chemical exposure.

    Fuel Oil Chemicals

Define the Washer Before Quotation

A useful RFQ starts with washer geometry and service conditions. Provide the drawing or ID, OD and thickness together with the medium, temperature and compression requirement.

  • ID / OD

    Primary Geometry

  • Temp / Load

    Service Conditions

RFQ Inputs

What to Include in Your Washer RFQ

Provide the following information so geometry, material and inspection requirements can be reviewed against the actual assembly.

  • ID and OD

    Specify inner and outer diameters or attach a drawing with the mating dimensions.

  • Thickness and Hardness

    Provide required thickness and Shore A hardness where these values are already defined.

  • Working Medium

    Identify the oil, water, fuel, air or chemical that will contact the washer.

  • Operating Temperature

    State normal and maximum temperatures expected during service.

  • Compression Load

    Describe clamping force, target compression or the sealing condition if relevant.

  • Annual Quantity

    Include sample quantity, production quantity or estimated annual usage for quotation planning.

Engineering Review

Drawing and Specification Review

Review the washer geometry, service conditions and inspection requirements together before production.

  • Drawing and Geometry Review

    Confirm ID, OD, thickness and critical tolerances from the drawing, dimensions or sample.

  • Material and Service Review

    Match the compound to the working medium, normal and maximum temperature, and environmental exposure.

  • Choose the Correct Part Type

    For flat sheet-cut silicone parts, see flat die-cut silicone washers. For three-dimensional molded silicone profiles, see molded silicone washers with 3D profiles. For solid round parts without a center hole, see solid rubber discs without a center hole.

  • Inspection Requirements

    Define critical dimensions, visual criteria and required documentation before production.
