The SKF VS V series V-ring seal is an axial sealing element that mounts on the shaft and rotates with it. Its flexible elastomer lip makes contact against a perpendicular face, generally the front surface of a bearing or housing. It is used to retain grease and block the entry of dust, water or particles. It is a simple and effective solution to protect bearings in contaminated environments.

The VS V series designation is read with the shaft diameter and the profile type. For example, 14 VS V indicates a seal for a 14 mm shaft, while 38 VS V corresponds to a 38 mm shaft. The letters VS identify the V-ring seal category, and the final V indicates the standard lip profile. The series includes a wide range of shaft diameters, from small to large sizes. For each size, the seal fits the nominal shaft diameter.

These seals are used in equipment where dust, moisture or frequent washdowns threaten lubrication. In the food, cement, mining and aggregate industries they are common to protect bearings in conveyors, mixers, pumps and gearboxes. They are also used on fan shafts, conveyor belts and agricultural machinery. In Argentina, MR Accesorios Industriales sells them for replacement and maintenance of equipment operating in severe conditions.

To select a V-ring, check the shaft diameter and rotation speed. The lip must rest with slight interference on the sealing face; if contact is excessive, heat and premature wear are generated. The support surface must be smooth and perpendicular to the shaft. During mounting, lubricate the lip with compatible grease and avoid damaging it with sharp edges. Correct alignment between shaft and housing extends the life of the seal and the bearing.

SKF VS V series V-ring seals can be interchanged with seals from other brands that follow the same dimensional designation, such as those with a similar profile from different manufacturers. The key is to respect the shaft diameter and the lip type. Not all profiles are equivalent: verify that the lip angle and flexibility match the application.
