knitted wire mesh / compressed / knitted

Compressed knitted wire mesh washers, gaskets and seals utilise knitted wire mesh formed under pressure into resilient high density profiles. Manufactured from our usual standard wires of Monel, Aluminium, TCS (tinned copper-clad steel) & stainless steel, we have also manufactured these exacting washers from wires such as brass and beryllium copper which are available to special order.

Compressed knitted wire mesh profiles are used as gland rings, grounding buttons, magnetron seals and numerous other applications where a high density mesh is required for effective EMI shielding.

Each application will be individually designed and the mechanical properties of the gasket along with tooling costs should be considered. We can manufacture to very exacting standards on these washers, keeping weight and dimension tolerances very tight as well as offering stepped washers as pictured.
