Chevron gasket T series

VrubberNBR

Our gaskets in cotton-fabric TENAX® do consist of fabric impregnated with elastomeric compounds through special manufacturing processes. Our pre-shaped rings with a rolled and wound structure are prepared, moulded and vulcanised in order to obtain the definitive profile. This special structure, combined with the design of profiles used for years in hydraulic systems, allows to produce gaskets with: - High elasticity; - Good mechanical resistance; - Good resistance to wear; - High resistance to pressure; - Resistance to mineral and synthetic oils; - Resistance to high temperatures. Our gaskets in TENAX®, regardless of the profile, exert their function on the base of the elastic deformation they undergo during assembly in a housing having a radial section inferior to the actual width of the gasket. With this method, even in applications with no pressure, the sealing performance is ensured by the elastic deformation effect. When the pressure of the fluid on the gasket increases, the perfect balance among the forces acting on the gasket is created. Therefore a good sealing performance is ensured even at the highest operating temperatures. Our gaskets in TENAX®, if compared with other gaskets in compact rubber, offer many advantages in terms of resistance to wear and low friction coefficient. This is due to the structure of the fabric, which is able to retain particles of the retained fluid in its stitch structure. This allows to improve the lubrication and the resistance of the gasket. Our gaskets in TENAX® are also able to prevent sticking phenomena of metal parts, even after long standstill periods. Vee packings or Chevron “Automatic” sets
