Chevron sets, also known as V-packing, are used to prevent fluid leaks in hydraulic systems, particularly in open housing high-pressure hydraulic cylinders. They offer robust sealing performance compared to Compact Piston Seals. The V-shaped rings in the sets form several pressure barriers because of their stackable design. The components typically include:
1. One Pressure Ring
2. Three Chevron Rings
3. One Support Ring
These chevron sets are often designed to withstand a wide range of temperatures and resist damage from various chemicals, ensuring long-lasting and reliable performance.
