Omega Gate Seal
Our omega gate seals are often used to create an internal seal between two surfaces on underwater tunnels. These seals generally perform as a membrane as they are exposed to three dimensional movements between the tunnel sections. Omega seals can also be reinforced with fabric in order to enhance the seal with additional mechanical properties. We can increase or decrease the number of fabric layers in order to suit the maximum hydrostatic pressure and required safety factor. We can also manufacture our omega gate seals with a series of small ridges on the sealing face. This will ensure that the profile is able to create a watertight seal under a variety of pressures.
Here at The Rubber Company we manufacture a wide variety of rubber gate seals to suit any application and environment. We produce our gate and dam seals from high quality rubber compounds in order to preserve the service life of the seal. We can also offer a large selection of standard profiles, which have been specifically designed to suit almost all applications. Alternatively, we can manufacture a bespoke gate seal to your exact specifications. This ensures that you can always get the best seal to suit your unique requirements.
Our rubber gate seals provide exceptional mechanical properties as well as good weathering and water resistance properties. The entire gate seal range features a high tensile strength as standard. Our gate seals also feature excellent abrasion and tear resistant properties. These properties are crucial as it enables the seal to withstand frequent use, while also maintaining sealing properties.
We supply rubber gate seals for use in; dam & canal gates, radial, stop log, sluice, penstock and vertical gate applications. The different seal designs have been specifically developed in order to suit different seal types and installations. We have a comprehensive gate seal brochure that lists the common gate seal types, as well as where you would use them and how they work. Don’t hesitate to get in contact with us if you are unsure which particular gate seal best suits your application. Our friendly and informative staff are always on hand to assist you however possible.
