Dongguan Yunze Silicone Products Co., Ltd. developed custom grommets for engine-bay wire harness pass-throughs on excavators and loaders. The seal protects cable bundles while maintaining stable retention during routing, service, and equipment operation.
Off-highway equipment exposes harness seals to continuous vibration fatigue, oil splash, mud, dust ingress, thermal cycling, and installation variation. The design must maintain compression and prevent cable chafing through thousands of operating hours.
Yunze selected a durable silicone formulation and engineered a double-rib sealing profile with controlled interference, radiused cable contact, robust retention, and a precision parting line. Strict In-House QC & Standardized Production controls material traceability, molding consistency, trimming, and inspection.
| Specification | Requirement / Result |
|---|---|
| Material | Custom silicone rubber compound |
| Hardness | Shore A 60±5 |
| Operating temperature | -40°C~+220°C |
| Tensile strength | ≥8.5MPa |
| Tear strength | ≥28kN/m |
| Ingress protection | IP68 |
| Flame behavior | UL94 V-0/HB |
| Substance compliance | RoHS/REACH |
| Seal profile | Double-rib compression seal |
| Inspection | Dimensional, visual, hardness, and sealing checks |
| Application | Excavator and loader engine wire harnesses |
Field validation recorded zero cable chafing over 5,000 hrs. Warranty failure decreased from 4.8% to 0.0%, reducing service interruption, replacement consumption, and field inspection cost.
Q1: How does the double-rib profile improve sealing?
Two controlled sealing lines distribute compression and provide a secondary barrier against dust, water, and oil splash.
Q2: How is IP68 performance validated?
Validation uses representative cable bundles, specified installation conditions, dimensional checks, and water-ingress testing to the project requirement.
Q3: What should be included in an RFQ?
Provide cable bundle range, panel thickness, environment, temperature, target IP rating, annual demand, and 2D/3D data.
