Seals and spacers are common components used in a wide variety of applications and industries, especially in the aerospace sector. With hundreds of mechanical devices in close proximity within a given aerostructure, these devices help prevent the wear and risk of failure associated with friction. Although seals and spacers can be composed of any stable material, rubber has quickly become a popular choice in general aviation and spacecraft. In this blog, we will explore the rationale behind the switch to rubber elements to support demanding applications.
