What is a VK EC cap?

A VK EC plug is a mechanical component used to seal and protect openings in industrial systems, including hydraulic, pneumatic and mechanical systems. These plugs provide an effective seal, preventing fluid leaks and contaminants from entering closed systems. They are made from robust materials and are designed to withstand demanding operating conditions.

Different VK EC plug profiles

VK EC plugs are available in a range of profiles to meet a variety of specific needs:

  • Standard VK EC plugs: used for general-purpose applications, offering excellent sealing and reliable protection against contaminants.

  • High-pressure VK EC plugs: Designed to withstand high pressures, they are ideal for hydraulic and pneumatic systems subject to intensive operating conditions.

  • VK EC plugs with O-rings: Equipped with additional O-rings, they offer enhanced sealing, preventing fluid leakage even at high pressures.

  • Stainless steel VK EC plugs: Made from stainless steel, they are corrosion-resistant and suitable for use in aggressive environments or those requiring strict hygiene.

Special features of VK EC closures

VK EC closures offer several key advantages that make them indispensable in a variety of applications:

  • effective sealing: Designed to prevent fluid leakage and contaminant ingress, they ensure a tight, reliable connection.

  • Durability: Made from robust materials such as stainless steel or brass, they resist wear, corrosion and harsh environmental conditions.

  • Ease of installation: VK EC plugs are easy to install and remove, enabling fast, efficient system maintenance.

  • Versatility: Available in a variety of sizes, materials and configurations, they can be used in a wide range of industrial and mechanical applications.

How to choose the right part number?

To select the right VK EC plug for your needs, several criteria need to be taken into account:

  1. Specific application: Identify the specific requirements of your application, such as fluid type, operating pressure, and environmental conditions (humidity, temperature, chemical exposure).

  2. Plug type: Choose between the different types of VK EC plugs (standard, high-pressure, O-ring, stainless steel) depending on the performance required. For example, plugs with O-rings are recommended for applications requiring enhanced sealing.

  3. Dimensions : Ensure that the plug dimensions (diameter, thread, length) perfectly match your application to guarantee correct installation and optimum performance.

  4. Materials: Select plugs made from materials suitable for the environment in which they will be used. Stainless steel plugs are recommended for corrosive environments or those requiring strict hygiene.

Benefits of VK EC closures for various industries
