V-Rings
V-ring seals are axial shaft seals, available in a wide range of stock sizes.
We are have a range of customized solutions for sizes above 2 000 mm or special requirements. SKF also supplies metal-cased V-ring seals:
All-rubber V-rings, or just called "V-rings"
All-rubber V-rings are used for rotating shafts in an extremely wide range of applications. The V-ring can be used alone to protect a wide assortment of bearing types from contaminants while reliably retaining the lubricant. They are also often used as secondary seals to protect primary seals in highly contaminated environments.
MVR axial shaft seals, a metal-cased V-ring seal
For added protection in extremely contaminated applications, SKF also offers MVR seals. Like V-ring seals, MVR seals also seal axially and function by combining lip contact with centrifugal “flinging” action. MVR seals are, however, different from V-rings in that their rubber element is stretch fit into a metal case. The metal case is then press fit onto the shaft. The case provides excellent protection from heavy debris and enables the seal to accommodate high rotational speeds without requiring auxiliary clamping devices.
