DESCRIPTION: New knitted wire mesh technology offers the advantages of mesh over core without the bulk and expense of a core. Chomerics’ special technique produces a highly resilient, hollow knitted mesh gasket with remarkable recovery even above 70% compression. Compression set is less than 30% at 80% compression.
SPRINGMESH gaskets have a round configuration ideally suited for use as a gasket-in-a-groove. They are made from 0.004 inch (0.10 mm) diameter tin-plated steel wire knitted into a hollow cylinder. Two layers of mesh is the preferred design for maximum EMI protection and compression- deflection performance. Custom constructions are available.
Typical applications include cast housings for outdoor CATV boxes, NEMA enclosures with outboard environmental seals, and industrial enclosures.
