Drilling Rubber Cleanly: High-Speed Air Turbine Motors® for Rubber Gaskets and Seals
Drilling rubber sounds simple until you do it at scale, because rubber behaves nothing like metal. Rubber stretches, grabs the drill, deflects away from cutting pressure, and can smear or melt if the tool rubs instead of shearing. For manufacturer drilling rubber gaskets, seals, bands, extrusions, appliance components, vehicle window seals, or industrial door seals, the goal is simple: clean, round, repeatable holes at production speed.
Air Turbine Tools® helps solve this problem with governed, 25,000 to 90,000 RPM Air Turbine Motors and Spindles that hold RPM in the cut. By keeping the drill at a constant cutting speed, these motors help shear rubber cleanly, reduce heat related defects & fuzzy breakout, eliminate oil contamination all while cutting cycle time on high-volume rubber drilling lines by 6-10x.
