A lathe cut rubber washer is manufactured from a tube of rubber by inserting a mandrel into the tube and cutting the finished dimensions with a knife while the mandrel is being turned at high speed in a lathe type machine.
Lathe cut rubber offers maximum cost-performance benefits in many applications. For example, a lathe cut rubber washer is usually the best choice where a static seal is needed. Its square or rectangular cross-section provides a wider sealing surface and superior resistance to compression set than molded o-rings. In addition to meeting job specifications, a lathe cut rubber washer is less expensive than molded alternatives.
