The SKF V-ring seal of the VAX V series is an axial sealing element that is mounted on the shaft and rotates with it. Its flexible elastomer lip rests against a perpendicular face, generally the front face of a bearing or a housing, and blocks the entry of dust, water and particles. It is widely used in applications where space is limited and a reliable barrier is needed without machining the housing. MR Accesorios Industriales carries this line as an official brand.

The VAX V series designation is read in parts. The letters VAX identify the category of SKF V-ring seals, and the final V indicates the profile variant. The number preceding the letters indicates the nominal shaft diameter for which the seal is intended: for example, 400 VAX V corresponds to a 400 mm shaft. There is no need to memorize part numbers: with the number and the letters you already know which shaft size it covers. For other sizes, the same logic is repeated by changing the initial number.

In Argentine industry, SKF V-rings appear in mining, cement, steel, aggregate processing and material handling equipment. They are also found in pumps, mixers, gearboxes and conveyor belt rollers, where dust or moisture attacks the bearings. Their mounting on the shaft makes them ideal for protecting bearings in dirty environments, since they act as a dynamic deflector and reduce wear on the main radial shaft seal. MR Accesorios Industriales offers them for those demanding applications.

To choose a V-ring correctly, take into account the shaft diameter, the rotation speed and the type of contaminant. The lip should rest with a slight interference on the sealing face; if the contact is excessive, heat and premature wear are generated. Lubricating the lip with compatible grease or oil helps reduce friction. The alignment between the shaft and the contact face is key: a large misalignment can open the lip and lose sealing. In assemblies with a lot of vibration, it is advisable to periodically check the condition of the elastomer.

As for equivalents, V-rings are interchanged between manufacturers by shaft number and profile, but not all elastomers or tolerances are the same. If you need to replace a seal from another brand, the safest approach is to compare the shaft diameter, the overall width and the lip shape. Don't invent cross-referenced part numbers: consult us with the exact measurement and we will confirm the appropriate SKF alternative. The VAX V series is usually compatible with other V-ring lines of similar dimensions, as long as the mounting space allows it.

If you already have the seal part number, send it on WhatsApp to MR Accesorios Industriales and we will quote you. You can also send us a photo or the shaft and support face measurements so we can help you identify the SKF V-ring you need. With more than 80 years in the field, at MR Accesorios Industriales we know difficult assemblies and we advise you so that the sealing works from day one.
