Widely renowned for their ease of installation and use, our selection includes a number of different grommetstyles. These areare perfect for all kinds of general uses, featuring ideal resistance properties against factors, such as heat, weathering, and UVexposure. Rubber blanking plugs are used to seal holes and are designed to hold and control pressure coming from above or below, making them a good grommet choice for high-pressure UK devices and tubing. Also known as Buna-N, nitrile rubber is highly oil-resistant. This makes it the first choice for grommets when exposure to oil is a possibility. Electrically, it is a semiconductor (a substance with electrical conductivity halfway between an insulator and a metal) and is also antistatic.Additionally, if the grommets are made from NBR nitrile rubber, there is a mechanical industry standard that indicates a shelf life of 4-5 years. Fluorocarbon Rubber We offer a return period on all of our products to give you peace of mind, to view our policies and Known inside the industry as Blind Cable Grommets or simply Closed Grommets, these products are manufactured using a durable yet high quality TPE / PVC Rubber. Helping to provide flexibility and manoeuvrability, these materials are required for a secure fitting to your panel or cable hole, providing a quality air-tight seal which is expected of such a product.

Most grommets are made from rubber, but plastic grommets are available in the UK and elsewhere, along with models made from other materials, including:

You can only compare up to four products at a time.

Also known as blind rubber grommets, closed grommets provide air-tight seals when applied, and can be a good choice for sealing holes not currently in use to prevent the build-up of dust.

Securing Structures: Tarps and covers often use metal grommets to secure them in place, especially in windy conditions. Efficient Production: Emphasis on manufacturing processes that reduce waste and energy consumption. Blind/Blanking grommets are the same as round grommets however they do not have a hole in the middle. They are often used to fill holes that are not currently in use to prevent dust from getting in. Some blanking grommets have a small holes in them. These are referred to as diaphragm grommets. The hole sits snug around the wire to protect it from the surrounding area and to prevent dust from passing through to the electrics behind it.These Closed Grommets are resistant to many different factors, including Weathering, UV & Acids/Alkali's thanks to the high grade of material used. For all available product sizes and variations of these grommets or to request a free sample, please see the table found below. Grommet strips are strips of material that sit over the edge of a panel. They are designed to improve the appearance or to protect the edge. Grommet strips are available in various lengths which are often able to be cut to size. There are heat-activated adhesive strips available too. By using Linquip RFQ Service, you can expect to receive quotations from various suppliers across multiple industries and regions. Rolled Rim Grommets with Washers Rolled Rim Grommets with Washers (Reference: webstore.stimpson.com) Unlike similarly shaped round grommets, blind rubber grommets have no central hole. They are widely used by the UK electronics industry.

TPV: This is a type of TPE and also called TPE-V. Its characteristics are more similar to EPDM, making it an excellent choice for sealing applications. It’s especially popular with the automotive industry for under-the-hood applications – for example, as a radiator rubber grommet – and where heat resistance and the ability to perform in oily environments is necessary. Characteristic: These have a rolled rim around the opening and come with a washer for added reinforcement. Some feature a small hole into which a wire can be inserted for a firm hold. These are called diaphragm grommets. Open Rubber Grommets Usage: Crucial in industries like aerospace or automotive, where components can get exceptionally hot.

Grommets, essentially, are rings or edge strips inserted into holes through thin materials, typically to prevent tearing or abrasion, and often to cover sharp edges of the pierced material. Here are the most common types of Grommets These rubber grommets are noted as oval eyelets that are not only used to reinforce but also to protect an opening. The oval rubber grommets are used to isolate and even protect any object that passes through any of the openings. Tailored Solutions: Whether you need grommets of a specific size, material, or functionality, Linquip connects you with suppliers and manufacturers that can meet those needs. Round rubber grommets are the most common shape. Along with oval rubber grommets, also called oblong rubber grommets, they’re used in automotive, electrical enclosures – generally, for any panel in any industry. TPE: Designers are also opting for TPE for the cost savings while still getting the rubber-like characteristics they’re after. TPE offers good electrical properties and excellent resistance to flexural fatigue, chemicals and weathering.

Before we look at types, we should talk about materials, which can dictate what the grommet should be used for. Usage: Used in situations where speed and ease of assembly are crucial, such as in mass production setups.If you need to route different cables, wires, hoses, or other materials through an opening made from various materials, one of the most suitable options for protecting the materials is using an oval grommet. Its broad, round design will make sure that the cables are not damaged, but more importantly, it can withstand vibrations, wear and tear, and abrasions, meaning that it will keep the components safe. Since the oval grommet features an oval bottom, you will not have to worry about it popping out of the opening you installed it on, mostly because the design will secure it in place. Aesthetics: Beyond functionality, they also serve as fashionable elements in garments and accessories.
