Automotive Tailgate Strut LSR Overmolded Metal Sealing Pin

Automotive Tailgate Strut LSR Overmolded Metal Sealing Pin is a silicone sealing component developed for this metal insert LSR sealing pin can be used in: and yes. This type of metal insert LSR sealing pin is suitable for tailgate strut…. The configuration combines structure: Metal Insert + LSR Silicone Overmolding; material: Stainless Steel / Aluminum / Custom Metal + LSR Silicone; process: Metal Insert Molding + LSR Overmolding to address the functional requirements of the surrounding assembly.

A successful custom part depends on more than the outer shape. The sealing path, contact surfaces, wall sections, bonding areas and installation method all influence how the component performs in service. The points below summarize the component in an engineering-focused format for RFQ and supplier comparison.

Performance Highlights

• The product is made by placing the metal insert into the mold and directly overmolding LSR silicone onto the required sealing areas. This creates a stable metal-silicone integrated part.
• The LSR silicone section helps provide sealing and flexible contact inside the tailgate strut or rod assembly, reducing the risk of leakage, looseness, vibration, and abnormal noise.
• The metal insert offers high strength and accurate positioning, making the component suitable for automotive assemblies that require repeated movement and long-term durability.
• The small cylindrical structure is suitable for limited internal spaces inside automotive tailgate struts, gas springs, lift rods, and electric tailgate mechanisms.
• LSR silicone offers good elasticity, aging resistance, temperature stability, and compression performance, supporting stable use in automotive working environments.
