Automotive - Sealing Technologies Asia Division | Parker US
Parker Image

Parker has been a supplier to the automotive industry for over 60 years. Today's OEMs are leveraging our extensive expertise in static gasket sealing technologies for internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles and working with our e-mobility teams to develop sealing for electric vehicles (EV) as well. 

New challenges with power electronics, liquid cooling systems and thermal management are opportunities for Parker products to shine.

Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) Vehicles

With few exceptions, Parker sealing solutions are found on just about every modern internal combustion vehicle in operation. There are reasons for that:  Design expertise, material science leadership, manufacturing excellence and a culture of continuous improvement of our processes.

Hydrogen Power

From production to storage and transportation of hydrogen to applications using hydrogen as an energy source, different requirements have to be taken into account: performance at cryogenic temperatures, resistance to pressures of 1000 bar and more, low leakage and long service life are just a few of the many possible requirements that are placed on a sealing system in a hydrogen application. A reliable sealing system that is easy to assemble is a prerequisite for avoiding problems in the application.

Product Design & Development

Non-Linear Finite Element Analysis – MSC MARC Mentat

Parker utilizes state of the art Finite Element Analysis (FEA) to simulate a component subjected to pressure and fatigue to quickly provide a data base to evaluate stress, deformation and other application parameters extremes which influence design.

Edge Bonded and Overmolded Gaskets

Advantages:

  • Bonded seals alleviate some of the most common issues encountered with strictly elastomer seals.
  • Eliminate complicated installations, handling damage, and twisting and pinching problems
  • Eliminate alternate leak paths
  • Reduce costs by eliminating the need for machined grooves in mating hardware
  • Thin, rigid metal retainer provides metal-to-metal contact which means the elastomer cannot be excessively stressed due to over-tightening

EOC/TOC

Engine Oil Cooler and Transmission Oil Cooler Gaskets

Benefits:

  • Easy assembly minimizes installation errors
  • Reliable sealing against broad range of media including oils, coolants, fuels, gases with performance that surpasses function of copper or other metal washers
  • Metal-to-metal contact produces ideal compression conditions between bolt and flange
  • Highly customizable; various elastomer/substrate material combinations possible

EV Cooling & HVAC Connections

Bonded Slimline Washer Seals for Electric Vehicle Cooling

Bonded slimline seals combine the function of a rubber seal such as an O-ring with that of a metallic washer in one bonded washer component. Their use aids in removing operational inefficiencies associated with component assembly and installation, and lessening warranty and rework costs associated with quality mistakes where visual inspection cannot assure the seal has been installed.
