In this section you will find a wide variety of sealing elements that are required in model making. The best-known way to seal something is certainly to use an O-ring. If you want to seal a tank with petrol or similar materials, we recommend Viton O-rings as these sealing rings are petrol-proof. Vulkan fever sealing rings are used in pneumatics but are also very suitable for use in technical model making. Shaft sealing rings are suitable for sealing shaft openings, for example in gearboxes or engines.
Grafi-Sil valve balls are heat-resistant up to 800 °C (short-term) and are ideal for the exhaust valves of flame eaters. Since they are elastic in contrast to steel balls, the Grafi Sil valve balls always seal 100%. If you would like to make a cylinder seal yourself, we offer you Abil sealing paper from which you can pre-cut the one you want.
Grafi-sil valve balls are made of a special silicone rubber. The valve balls ensure 100% tightness in steam model construction with their check valves, feed water pumps and injectors, even when the ball sockets are removed or dirty. They can be used in steam, water and oil pipes and are absolutely noise-free.
The following valve ball diameters are available:
4mm Grafi-sil valve balls
5mm Grafi-sil valve balls
6mm Grafi-sil valve balls
8mm Grafi-sil valve balls
10mm Grafi-sil valve balls
12.7mm Grafi-sil valve balls
15,2mm Grafi-sil valve balls
You can of course also retrofit the Grafi-sil balls into your existing components. The maximum ball diameter must always be selected. Sufficient is already 0.3mm distance between ball and armature diameter. The graphi-sil spheres can be used up to a temperature of 400 ° C. We use the Grafi-sil spheres, among other things, as outlet valve balls for our flame eaters.
We offer you a sample set with 2 balls of each size - with a price advantage of 20% !!!
2x4mm / 2x5mm / 2x6mm / 2x8mm
Whoever has used Grafi-sil balls does not take anything else!
!!! Grafi-sil valve balls are also used in machine and plant construction !!!
The Abil N sealing material of Elring is a cellulose-based sealing paper with an NBR binder. It is suitable for sealing cylinder heads in combustion engines or cylinder covers in steam engines or Stirling engines. Abil can be used to seal against cooling water, oils, fuels and steam. If you want to use the sealing paper to seal steam or air, oil the finished seal well. With this material you can make your own seal. The 0.5mm thick sealing material can be cut perfectly with scissors, perforated iron or knife.
