Flange Packings
Leather flange packings are designed for shaft sealing and stuffing box applications. These packings adapt to supporting surfaces and provide effective sealing under load without cold flow or extrusion.
Typical Uses: valves, rotating shafts, stuffing boxes
Key Benefits: abrasion resistance, long service life
Vee Packings
Chevron-style vee packings made from leather deliver sealing in reciprocating and oscillating systems. Their natural pliability and ability to fill irregular surfaces make them effective in many industrial applications, particularly when impregnated with wax, oil or resins to enhance performance.
Typical Uses: hydraulic cylinders, pistons
Key Benefits: adaptable, customizable profiles
U Packings
Leather U-packings are molded to provide dynamic sealing for pistons, plungers and rams, offering low friction and high wear resistance. Their structure helps reduce heat build-up under motion for longer performance life.
Typical Uses: pistons, plungers
Key Benefits: flexes to surface variation, high tensile strength
Back-Up Washers
Leather back-up washers support sealing systems and extend the operating pressure range of primary sealing elements. They are tough and wear-resistant, suited for heavy industrial use.
Typical Uses: support rings, backup sealing
Key Benefits: extended service life
Cup Packings
Leather cup packings deliver reliable sealing in reciprocating applications. Their flexible profile and impregnated structure provide durable, low-friction sealing that adapts to motion and surface wear.
Typical Uses: hoists, presses, hand pumps
Key Benefits: responsive sealing, reduced wear
Water Well Cup Packings
Water well cup packings are engineered for water-well and hand pump systems, offering moisture-tolerant sealing and extended service life in wet, abrasive environments.
Typical Uses: water-well pumps, windmill pumps
Key Benefits: moisture resistance, long reliability
Flat Belting
Leather flat belting offers rugged drive and conveyance solutions, ideal for custom machinery and vintage restoration where traditional materials are preferred.
Typical Uses: drive belts, power transmission, conveyors
Key Benefits: strength, flexibility
