Fabric-Reinforced, Inflatable Seals for Armored Military Vehicles (Tanks)
Seal Master provides fabric-reinforced inflatable seals for armored military vehicles, such as the M1 Abrams Turret.
Inflatable seals are used to provide water and airtight seals on the cab doors, windows, engine bays and tailgates of armored military vehicles such as tanks like the M1 Abrams Turret. But not just any seal will provide the reliable performance that the defense industry demands. In an environment where durability is a necessity, a fabric-reinforced, inflatable seal from Seal Master is the only true solution.
Reliable Sealing Technology for Armored Military Vehicle Applications
There is no market where seal performance is more critical than the military. Tanks like the M1 Abrams combine operational mobility with offensive and defensive capabilities. They are expected to protect the driver and crewmen, as well as the engine and components so that the vehicle can go the distance in even the harshest conditions.
This kind of vehicle demands the best-performing inflatable seals parts for the following components:
- Turrets
- Window gaskets, channels and doors
- Engine bay insulation
- Vehicle compartments
- Cabin weather stripping
Seal Master can provide custom engineering of inflatable seals to meet the specifications and demands of your tank. Our fabric-reinforced, inflatable seals are engineered to protect people and equipment, sealing out water, wind, smoke, gas fumes and more in high-action environments.
The Seal Master Difference
When compared to traditional compression seals, the fully molded construction of Seal Master seals reduces the risk of seal failure by improving the strength of rubber and ensuring the entire seal performs consistently. Our fabric-reinforced inflatable seals are:
- Easy to clean
- More reliable
- Ideal for quick access release
- Ideal for rough environments
- Crafted and tested for superior quality
- Not subject to compression set (a problem with other mechanical solutions)
Understanding the Operating Temperature of Your Armored Vehicle
The success of your seal depends largely on the material it is made from in relation to the environment it is in. Take a look at our material temperature range charts to get an idea of what material will be best for your application.
