Powersports Sealing and Fluid-Handling Solutions

powersports components

Cooper Standard Industrial & Specialty Group (ISG) designs and manufactures custom or catalog seals and fluid-handling solutions for powersports vehicles of all kinds, including ATVs, off-road, snowmobiles, motorcycles, personal watercraft, pontoons, jet skis and more. Whether our customers are in need of underhood, compartment or cab seals, or hoses, tubes and other fluid handling components, we will ensure that our solutions perform and stand up to the challenging demands of vehicle applications.

FEA Analysis Video

Our wide-variety of expertise ranges from materials science, engineering, value-added capabilities, as well as other performance tools, such as Finite Element Analysis (FEA) and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). FEA and CFD technologies are designed to precisely fine-tune product design before production, significantly reducing the sample development process and providing trusted products to ensure powersport machines run at peak performance.

Our engineers help develop seals and fluid handling components from the ground up or research ways to optimize your current components for improvements. We have developed customer-focused technologies to ensure the best fit, assembly ease, and solid, stay-in-place stability that performs for the long term no matter what the terrain—or your customers—can dish out.

Adhesive Laminating

Attaching high-performance, pressure-sensitive adhesive strips to both EPDM and silicone seals provides fast and easy installation at your facility. Learn more about how to choose the rubber adhesives that best fit your needs.

Push-Pin Seals

Seals can be produced with precision-spaced plastic pins across the length of the component, providing precise and ultra-tight application to a doorframe or other vehicle area.

Custom Cutting

Our wide variety of cutting processes, including custom cuts, notching drilling and punching add value to your operation for high accuracy and maximum production.

Splicing and Welding

O-rings or complex multi-sided components are made by securely splicing ends using welding or adhesive processes.

Coatings

Seals can be factory-coated to provide additional protection and lower the coefficient of friction for faster and easier manual assembly. Other select coatings to marine-based seals can be specified to provide additional protection against elements, wear and abrasion.
