The V-ring seal is a rotary sealing element shaped like a ring with 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, effective barrier is needed. MR Accesorios Industriales distributes 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 outer 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 are mounted 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, paper, cement and agro-industrial plants, where the environment is dirty and humid.
To select a V-ring, take into account the shaft diameter, rotation speed and type of contaminant. The lip should rest with 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 extend service life. Alignment between shaft and housing also matters: 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 equivalence 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.

Frequently Asked Questions
- How do I choose the correct V-ring seal for my shaft?
- You need the shaft diameter, rotation speed and type of contaminant. With that data the profile and size are defined. If you have the original code, send it and we will cross-reference it with the SKF line to give you the right option.
- Can SKF V-ring seals be replaced by another brand?
- Yes, as long as the shaft dimensions and lip profile match. There is no universal table: equivalence is confirmed by measuring the shaft and comparing the working range. We help you find the replacement.
- What is the difference between a V-ring and a traditional radial shaft seal?
- The V-ring is an axial seal that rotates with the shaft and expels contaminants by centrifugal force. The radial shaft seal is radial and seals against the shaft. They complement each other: in very dirty environments they are used together to protect the bearing.
