Weighbridge rubbers - All types & sizes

Weighbridge rubbers - All types & sizes

Weighbridge rubbers provide engineered sealing solutions for weighbridge gaps and joints, preventing ingress of grit and dirt and preserving load cell integrity and platform accuracy. Available in a comprehensive range of cross-sections, our profiles include standard and bespoke T profiles and related sealing sections designed to accommodate specified gap widths, compression set and mounting arrangements.

Manufactured in industry-grade elastomers (EPDM, neoprene, NBR and SBR) across multiple durometers, these rubber T profiles offer resistance to abrasion, oils and UV to extend service life. Sizes, material options and custom extrusions can be supplied to drawing; see /collections/weighbridge-rubber for the range. Contact our technical team for specification support and material selection advice.

Product overview

RuplaTec supplies a range of weighbridge rubbers in T profiles to suit different weighbridge designs. These Rubber T profiles are intended to limit the ingress of grit and dirt into the weighbridge structure and to provide a replaceable wear interface where moving or exposed elements meet the deck. Available in multiple cross‑section shapes and sizes, the range covers standard and bespoke requirements.

Applications

T profiles are typically used at deck edges, access points and joints on static and pit‑style weighbridges. Their primary function is to reduce particulate ingress and to protect adjacent materials from abrasion. Selection should reflect the site environment, expected traffic patterns and compatibility with surrounding materials.

Selection and variants

We offer standard rubber extrusions as well as custom options. For catalogue items see the weighbridge rubbers collection or request tailored sections via our custom extrusions page. When choosing a Rubber T profile, consider section geometry, shore hardness and material compound compatibility; our team can advise on making these choices based on observed service conditions.

Installation and maintenance

Installation is typically by mechanical fixings or adhesive bonding compatible with the chosen compound. Routine inspection for wear, ingress and adhesion is recommended to determine replacement intervals. Replacement of worn profiles prevents accelerated deterioration of the weighbridge structure.

Support

For technical queries or assistance with selection, RuplaTec’s team can provide application guidance and discuss custom tooling options.

FAQ

What are rubber T profiles for weighbridges?

Rubber T profiles are extruded sealing and edge components designed to fit into weighbridge joints and edges. They form a physical barrier that reduces the ingress of grit, dirt and moisture into the weighbridge structure. These profiles are available in a range of shapes and materials to accommodate different gap geometries and operating conditions. Use of T profiles helps protect internal components and support structure. For selection assistance or technical clarification, contact our team for advice.

How do T profiles protect weighbridge components?

By sealing joints and edges, T profiles limit ingress of abrasive particles and contaminants that can accelerate wear of bearings, loadcells and structural interfaces. Rubber T profiles absorb minor movements and provide a resilient contact surface that reduces dirt accumulation and water penetration. Choosing an appropriate elastomer and profile geometry helps maintain weighbridge accuracy and extends service life of internal components. For recommendations on material suitability and environmental compatibility, contact our team for advice.

How do I select the correct Rubber T profiles for my weighbridge?

Selecting the correct Rubber T profiles requires matching profile shape to the joint or edge, assessing compatible elastomer properties for temperature and chemical exposure, and considering the expected dynamic movement and load conditions. Review technical drawings and site conditions to confirm fit and compression characteristics. If retrofit mounting or custom extrusion is required, provide detailed measurements and operating information to technical staff. Contact our team for advice and to confirm compatibility with your weighbridge design.

What maintenance is required for weighbridge T profiles?

Routine inspection and basic maintenance keep T profiles performing effectively. Remove accumulated grit and debris by gentle brushing or low‑pressure washing and inspect for cuts, flattening or loss of elasticity. Replace profiles that show significant wear, cracking or deformation to maintain sealing performance. Avoid exposure to solvents or chemicals not rated for the selected rubber compound. For a maintenance schedule tailored to your operating conditions and material choice, contact our team for advice.
