This short profile 90 durometer nitrile vee is used in sets for pneumatic and hydraulic applications. Normally they are stacked together, or in conjunction with leather or TFE vees of the same profile for hydraulic applications. This profile is also available in other compounds including Viton, EPR, and Leather.
Temperature: -40° to 225°F

Hydraulic vee packing is a type of packing that uses multiple-lip, chevron seals to prevent the leakage of fluids. It is typically used in adjustable gland applications such as telescoping truck hoists, pumps and valves.
Vee packing sets are composed of a top and bottom, male and female component with a varying number of center vees. The vees are arranged in a vee shape, which helps to create a tight seal. The male and female components of the packing set are typically made of a high-wear material such as nylon or PTFE.
Vee packing is a cost-effective and reliable way to prevent leakage in hydraulic systems. It is also easy to install and maintain.
Here are some of the advantages of using hydraulic vee packing:
• It is a cost-effective and reliable way to prevent leakage in hydraulic systems.
• It is easy to install and maintain.
• It can be used in a variety of applications, including adjustable gland applications such as telescoping truck hoists, pumps and valves.
• It provides a tight seal, which helps to prevent leakage.
• It is made of high-wear materials, which helps to withstand the wear and tear of hydraulic systems.
Here are some of the disadvantages of using hydraulic vee packing:
• It can be difficult to remove and replace.
• It can be damaged if it is not properly installed or maintained.
• It can be affected by the environment, such as temperature and humidity.
• It can be affected by the type of fluid being used.
• It can be affected by the type of hydraulic system it is being used in.
