Rubber and Silicone Pushbuttons and Button Covers
MGV specializes in the design, production, and molding of custom rubber and silicone pushbuttons, as well as button covers, tailored to meet specific customer requirements. Pushbuttons and button covers are widely used in the electronics and mechanical industries. They can be made from rubber or silicone, with flame-retardant compounds available to meet UL94 standards. In industrial settings, transparent silicone is often chosen to allow the underlying button color to be visible, whereas in electronics, the buttons themselves are made in customer-specified colors.
Rubber Pushbuttons
Rubber pushbuttons can be designed as silicone switch buttons or electronic rubber buttons, available in both conductive and non-conductive forms. These are particularly popular in electronics, mechanical industries, and other fields like laboratory equipment manufacturing. Silicone rubber pushbuttons are suitable for high and low temperatures and provide electrical insulation while also serving decorative purposes and protecting against external factors. At MGV Rubber, we develop and design custom rubber pushbuttons that best fit the application and specific customer needs, ensuring optimal performance.
Rubber Button Covers
Rubber button covers are made from flexible rubber or durable silicone, designed to withstand wear and tear. These covers protect cables, wires, and cords from external damage, including chemical and mechanical threats. Different types of button covers can be created based on the specific requirements and applications outlined by the customer.
Compounds and Materials
The most commonly used materials include silicone and other organic rubber compounds. Custom compounds and materials can also be selected depending on the application, taking into account factors such as hardness, temperature ranges, and the client’s specific requirements. MGV offers a broad range of rubber products, sourcing compounds from leading European suppliers to produce custom-designed items. Materials include SBR, NR, NBR, HNBR, EPDM, CR, ACM, AEM, VMQ (silicone), and FKM (Viton), all bespoke items to meet specific technical standards.
Design, Production, and Molding of Pushbuttons and Button Covers
At MGV, we provide complete solutions for creating custom rubber parts, ensuring that seals and buttons are designed with the appropriate characteristics and compounds to meet industry requirements. Correct material selection is crucial to prevent malfunction or wear of the seals and the entire application. Our technical team assists in the design and customization process, guiding you through each detail. We use modern equipment, such as multi-axis CNC centers and EDM, to create molds and tools essential for manufacturing. We evaluate suitable materials and surface finishes like Teflon coating or chrome plating, ensuring that each product meets the highest quality standards. All items undergo strict quality checks and are carefully packaged for global shipping.
