DIMENSIONS CHARACTERISTICS
The currently available dimensions can be found on our website Media resistance
dichtomatik.fst.com or on our online ordering platform EASY. V-Rings made of NBR and FKM display good chemical resistan-
ce to many greases and mineral oils. FKM is also very stable in
synthetic oils and greases, as well as aromatic and chlorinated
APPLICATIONS hydrocarbons.

V-Rings are mainly used in combination with other types of seals


such as radial shaft seal rings. They also serve as pre-sealing ele-
ments for bearings. Some common uses of V-Rings:
