Increasing requirements, reduced costs, short time-to-market – this all needs to be considered when developing sealing solutions. One solution is the use of digital twins and state-of-the-art simulation tools.

On the surface, an elastomer O-ring may appear straightforward in terms of design and development, but there are far more processes involved than simply injecting rubber into a mold. Our expert Richard Katona explains how advanced materials development and simulation expertise can mean the difference between a good seal and an excellent one.

Dr. Rudolf Randler explains the benefits of a digital prototype such as enabling early verification of its functionality and performance.

Datwyler provides an insight into the development, manufacture and application of its sealing components, which can be equipped with sensors and thus be used for predictive maintenance. The focus is on the benefits for electric vehicles. An article by Andreas Minatti, Head of Business Development.

Simulation opens up great potential for rationalisation in component development. The automotive industry is a key driver for many developments in the sealing and polymer sector. This already has an effect during prototyping. DICHT! discussed why this is the case with Rudolf Randler, Head of Simulation, Andreas Minatti, Head of Business Development, and Konrad Dubler, Team Leader Engineering Mobility of Datwyler Switzerland Ltd.

Engaging with expert component suppliers can provide a competitive edge as players scramble to prepare for electrification, writes Datwyler’s Andreas Minatti.

The requirements for material and component parts in electromobility are more extensive than in the field of combustion engines. Andreas Minatti, Head of Business Development at Datwyler, talks about the challenges of electrification from the perspective of a sealing expert.
