Our Pressed Parts
Pressed Components for Damping and Sealing
Knitted mesh sections are mechanically compressed into pressed parts, customized in terms of material and shape according to customer requirements – ensuring high functionality and efficiency.
Compressed mesh elements are extremely versatile. For example, machine operations often generate vibrations. Without proper damping or isolation, these can lead to rapid wear of components and even floor damage.
Our bearing and damping elements offer an efficient and cost-effective solution to minimize wear and tear. Pressed parts are also widely used for noise reduction, as filters, and as seals. They stand out for their resistance to oils, acids, and alkalis, long service life, and high mechanical durability.
Application Areas of Our Pressed Parts
- Bearing and damping elements
- Sliding rings for exhaust systems
- Sealing elements
- Filter elements
- Sound-absorbing components

What can we develop for you?
We welcome new challenges.
Bearing and Damping Elements
What do engines, turbines, and manufacturing equipment have in common?
They generate vibrations during operation, which affect the entire machine. Integrated damping elements reduce stress and protect sensitive components from damage.
Our knitted meshes are perfectly suited for these applications: they are durable, flexible, and adaptable. As a core component in vibration damping systems, they help extend the life of your equipment.
At the same time, our custom-designed mesh components significantly reduce unpleasant noise emissions, increasing user comfort in operation.
Vibration Technology
Vehicles, machines, and their components are often exposed to a wide range of vibrational and environmental stresses, often under fluctuating temperatures.
Formed and pressed parts made from Rhodius KMS knitted mesh protect these sensitive components from damage.
Our custom-designed knitted mesh packs help to effectively reduce disturbing noise effects and vibration.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) – Pressed Parts
What are the main advantages of pressed parts made from knitted wire mesh?
They are extremely robust and durable, which results in a long, nearly maintenance-free lifespan. Additionally, they are resistant to oils, acids, and alkalines, and they exhibit high mechanical and thermal load-bearing capacities.
For which applications are pressed parts primarily used?
The main areas of application are in machinery and plant engineering, as well as the automotive industry. They are used as bearing and damping elements, sliding rings for exhaust systems, seals, and filter elements.
How do pressed parts help with vibrations and noise?
As bearing and damping elements, they minimize constant loads from vibrations, thus protecting components and floors from rapid wear. At the same time, they reduce the undesirable noise emissions from systems, improving overall application comfort.
Can pressed parts be integrated into assemblies?
Yes – upon request, we can combine our pressed parts with other components to create ready-to-install assemblies. This provides you with a functional, comprehensive solution tailored to assembly, housing, or series production.
Can pressed parts also be delivered as part of a larger assembly?
Yes, we are happy to combine our pressed parts with additional elements to create complete components and assemblies. Our portfolio ranges from mechanical vibration dampers to complex separation solutions.
How do damping elements made from knitted wire mesh work?
Through elastic deformation of the compressed metal wires, vibrations are reliably compensated. The wire diameter and packing density are perfectly tailored to the amplitude, frequency, and load of the application.
