Vee Packing seals are V-shaped sealing elements used in hydraulic and pneumatic cylinders to seal the rod or piston under high-pressure conditions. The Vee Packing set consists of several overlapping V-shaped rings, which provide a progressive and adjustable seal. This design allows for wear compensation through the progressive tightening of the set, without the need for immediate replacement of the seal. In the Hydraulic Seals Store catalogue, you’ll find Vee Packing seals made from polyurethane, rubber and PTFE, available from stock with fast delivery in Romania.
What are Vee Packing seals and where are they used?
V-profile seals (Vee Packing) are used in hydraulic and pneumatic cylinders where working pressure is high and a reliable, long-term seal is required. They are preferred in industrial applications where the ability to adjust the seal during operation is a key advantage.
Features of Vee Packing seals
V-shaped profile
The V-shaped profile allows the seals to adapt to pressure variations within the cylinder. At higher pressures, the V-rings open slightly, increasing the sealing force. The set may consist of adapter rings, V-rings and pressure rings, depending on the application.
Effective sealing in high-pressure applications
Vee Packing seals are designed to withstand high pressures, maintaining a seal throughout the set’s service life. Unlike conventional seals, the V-set can be adjusted to compensate for wear, extending the replacement interval.
Applications for Vee Packing seals
- high-pressure industrial hydraulic cylinders;
- hydraulic presses and forging equipment;
- hydraulic pumps and valves;
- pneumatic cylinders in industrial applications;
- lifting equipment and hydraulic drive systems.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where are Vee Packing seals used?
Vee Packing seals are used in high-pressure hydraulic and pneumatic cylinders, presses, pumps and industrial equipment where an adjustable, long-lasting seal is required.
What are the advantages of Vee Packing seals?
The main advantages are the progressively adjustable seal, resistance to high pressures and the ability to compensate for wear by tightening the assembly, thereby extending the seal’s service life.
When should Vee Packing seals be replaced?
Vee Packing seals should be replaced when the set can no longer be tightened sufficiently to ensure a seal, or when persistent leaks occur even after adjustment. Advanced wear or material deterioration are also reasons for replacement.
How do I choose the right Vee Packing seals?
Select Vee Packing seals based on the diameter of the rod or piston, the maximum working pressure, the material compatible with the hydraulic fluid, and the number of rings in the set required for the application.
