What is Rubber? CNC Machining

CNC Machining

Rubber is a highly elastic polymer that deforms easily under a small force and returns to its original shape once the load is removed. We supply Rubber CNC parts across the UK, from single prototypes to production runs.

As a fully amorphous polymer with a low glass transition temperature, it stays flexible at room temperature and below. As a result it is often specified for seals & gaskets, consumer products and medical applications. Its quoted tensile strength of around 165 MPa gives a useful guide when sizing parts.

Parts are CNC machined and supplied in black. Send us a STEP file and we will quote your Rubber CNC parts promptly, with UK-wide delivery. Finish options (as machined) can be confirmed when you order. Every order is checked against your drawing before dispatch.

Frequently asked questions

Is rubber easy to CNC machine?

Rubber can be machined, but it is highly elastic, so it moves under cutting forces. Simple shapes such as seals, gaskets and pads work best.

What tolerances can be held on rubber parts?

Rubber is elastic and hard to hold to tight tolerances, so it is best for parts where small dimensional variation is acceptable. Mark any critical dimensions on a 2D drawing with your upload so they can be reviewed and confirmed in your quote.

What finishes are available for rubber?

Rubber parts are usually supplied as machined and deburred.

What is rubber used for?

Typical uses include seals and gaskets, vibration dampers, consumer products and medical applications.

What should I specify when ordering rubber parts?

State the compound and hardness you need for critical parts. If the part needs to hold tight dimensions or carry loads, a harder material such as polyethylene or nylon may be more suitable.

How long does it take to make rubber parts?

The typical lead time shown for rubber is 10 business days from an approved order. Quantity, finishing and any heat treatment can affect this, and your quote confirms the date before you order.
