Vibration damping at its finest
Bonded Springs
Vibration damping at its finest
At K.C. Seals, our extensive experience with metal prep, bonding agents, and curing parameters means you can feel confident in the integrity of the rubber to metal bond once your tool is downhole.
All parts are measured on our Zeiss O-Machine and or Keyence CMM, which utilize optical and contact measurement technology in a comprehensive analysis. The O-Machine includes multi-sensor coordinate measuring, white light sensors for non-contact assessments and extremely accurate 3D scanners.
We follow AQL 2.5 levels 1 and 2 sample size quantities, and all molded parts are manufactured to RMA A2 tolerances.
Our rubber and plastic materials supply is diversified amongst the top compounders in North America. Each polymer has been qualified to meet typical exploration and production well conditions, including mechanical, tribological, thermal, and specific immersive properties.
