What is a V-ring seal?
A V-Ring is a solid rubber seal used on shafts to prevent dirt, moisture, and other unwanted material from entering an oil seal, housing, or any other desired area while simultaneously keeping lubricants in.
How does AV ring work?
V-rings are rubber face seals. The V-ring is mounted on the shaft and seals the counter surface. The lip of the seal prevents liquids and dust from the outside. When the rotational speeds increases, centrifugal forces act on the sealing lip which reduces contact pressure.
Which way do V seals go in?
Satisfactory results are often obtained by using the system fluid as the lubricant. When installing vee packing, make sure that they are facing in the direction of the media being sealed, whether liquid or air. This ensures that the system pressure will energize the seal lips and set them for proper sealing.
What size is K in rings?

What is difference between mechanical seal and oil seal?
Oil or Rotary shaft seals are vulnerable to extreme temperatures, which can cause them to wear out faster if they are used in very high or low temperatures. A mechanical seal features stationary elements, rotating components and a spring. Mechanical seals are used in applications with a rotating shaft.
When would you use a dual lip seal?
Double seals provide a level of safety/zero emissions compliance not possible with single seals. This is essential when pumping or mixing a dangerous or toxic substance. These seals are increasingly used by companies to meet specific environmental goals or emissions requirements.
What is vee packing?
Vee packing is a highly adaptable sealing product. It is typically used in adjustable gland applications such as telescoping truck hoists, pumps and valves. Vee packing sets are composed of a top and bottom component with a varying number of center vees.
What kind of seal is a V ring?
The V-ring is an all-rubber seal available from SKF. It is mounted directly on the shaft by hand and seals against a counterface. This unique design has been extensively used on a broad range of applications. Designed with a long, flexible lip, the V-ring can act as a face seal, a lip seal or slinger.
How big is a standard V ring shaft?
VR2VR2 The original V-ring designed with a wide body and tapered heel to firmly hold the ring on the shaft. Available in sizes from .180″ (4.5mm) shaft to 8.270″ (210mm). Commonly used in agricultural and automotive applications.
What can a V ring be used for?
