Fabric Reinforced Rubber Hydraulic Vee Packing Set
Engineered for demanding hydraulic and pneumatic sealing applications, this Fabric Reinforced Rubber Hydraulic Vee Packing Set delivers reliable, long-service sealing performance in cylinders, rams, and rod/piston assemblies. The multi-ring vee pack configuration — typically including a male adapter, female adapter, and one or more vee rings — allows field-adjustable compression to compensate for wear and maintain a positive seal over the life of the equipment.
Key Features
Fabric-reinforced construction: Rubber compound bonded with high-strength fabric plies for superior pressure resistance, dimensional stability, and extrusion resistance under dynamic loading
Vee-ring profile: Classic V-cross-section provides progressive sealing force — the higher the system pressure, the tighter the seal
Complete set: Includes male adapter (bottom ring), vee rings, and female adapter (top ring) for a ready-to-install assembly
Wide material compatibility: Suitable for use with petroleum-based hydraulic fluids, water-based fluids, and many synthetic fluids (verify compound compatibility for specific media)
Temperature range: Rated for standard industrial operating temperatures; consult compound data sheet for extremes
Adjustable gland: Designed for use with a follower/gland that allows re-tightening to extend service life
Typical Applications
Hydraulic cylinders and rams
Presses and jacks
Pumps and valve stems
Industrial and mobile hydraulic equipment
Pressure / Vee Count
3,000 PSI = 4 Vees
