The V-ring seal is a rotary sealing element with a ring shape and a V-shaped lip that mounts on the shaft. Its function is to retain lubricant and block the ingress of dust, water or particles from the outside. It is used in bearing housings, electric motors, pumps, gearboxes and industrial equipment where the shaft rotates and a simple and effective barrier is needed. MR Accesorios Industriales sells the SKF line in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

The designation of these SKF V-ring seals is based on a six-digit numeric code, such as 400050, 400060 or 400124. Each number identifies a size and profile within the family. It does not include series letters or material suffixes in the base code, so to choose the correct seal you must cross-reference the code with the shaft size and the working outside diameter. If you have the old code or the equipment drawing, send it and we will verify it.

In Argentine industry, V-rings appear in electric motors, centrifugal pumps, gearboxes, conveyor belts and process equipment. They mount on the shaft, with the lip resting against the front face of the housing or against a retaining washer. They rotate with the shaft and by centrifugal effect expel dust and splashes. They are common in food plants, paper mills, cement plants and in the agro-industrial sector, where the environment is dirty and humid.

To select a V-ring, take into account the shaft diameter, the rotation speed and the type of contaminant. The lip must rest with a slight interference on the opposite face; if the support is weak, the seal does not close, and if it is excessive, it wears quickly. Lubrication of the lip helps dissipate heat and prolong service life. The alignment between shaft and housing also matters: a large misalignment makes the lip work unevenly. In environments with a lot of water, it is advisable to combine it with a main radial shaft seal.

SKF V-ring seals are interchangeable with equivalent products from other European and Asian brands, as long as the shaft dimensions and lip profile match. There is no universal interchange table: interchangeability is confirmed by measuring the shaft and comparing the working range. At MR Accesorios Industriales we can help you find the right replacement if you send us the original code or the shaft and housing dimensions.
