V-Packing, also known as chevron packing, is a robust sealing solution for high-pressure hydraulic and pneumatic applications. Comprised of multiple V-shaped rings stacked together, supported by adapters on either side, V-Packing is mostly used for its exceptional sealing capabilities and adaptability. It is widely utilized for sealing pistons and rods in both single and double-acting cylinders, ensuring reliable performance under demanding conditions.
Each V-Packing set includes a combination of male and female adapters along with several V-Rings, which number can be adjusted based on the expected pressure capacity and groove width. These pressure rings, made from fabric-reinforced rubber, PTFE, or nylon, provide effective sealing while accommodating variations in chemical exposure, temperature, and pressure.
V-Packing excels in adjustable gland applications such as telescopic truck cranes, pumps, and valves. Its ability to withstand high speeds, resist surface finish imperfections, and maintain a secure seal makes it a preferred choice in industrial settings where durability and performance are critical.
