Description

The SKF VA H series V-ring seal is a rotary sealing element that mounts directly on the shaft and seals against a perpendicular face. Its flexible, springless V-shaped lip covers a wide speed range and tolerates slight misalignment. It is used to retain grease and repel dust, water or particles in industrial equipment. MR Accesorios Industriales carries this line as an official brand for applications requiring reliability and easy installation.
The designation of the VA H series is interpreted by the number preceding it, which indicates the shaft diameter in millimeters for which the seal is designed. For example, 500 VA H corresponds to a 500 mm shaft and 550 VA H to a 550 mm one. The final letter H identifies a variant with greater height or section, suitable for certain assemblies. When choosing, verify that the shaft diameter matches the number and that the axial space allows for the H section.
These seals are used in industries such as food, cement, steel and water treatment, where dust, moisture or splashes are present. They are also common in gearboxes, pumps, mixers and conveyors. In Argentina, MR Accesorios Industriales supplies them to plants that need to protect bearings and lubricant in contaminated environments. Their mounting on the shaft facilitates replacement without completely disassembling the equipment.
To select a VA H V-ring, consider the peripheral speed of the shaft, the operating temperature and the type of contaminant. The lip should rest with slight pressure on the sealing face; excessive compression accelerates wear. Alignment between the shaft and the contact face is critical: misalignment greater than tolerated can open the seal. It does not require additional lubrication and is mounted by elastic fit, without adhesives.
Regarding interchangeability, V-rings are identified by standardized dimensions, but each manufacturer may vary the compound and hardness. When replacing a seal from another brand with an SKF VA H series one, verify that the shaft diameter and section match. MR Accesorios Industriales can advise you on equivalents without needing internal codes. It is always advisable to consult with the supplier before substituting one seal for another of different origin.

Frequently Asked Questions
- How do I choose the right VA H V-ring seal for my shaft?
- Measure the shaft diameter and select the matching number, for example 500 for 500 mm. Verify the axial space available for the H section. If you have doubts, consult us on WhatsApp with the dimensions.
- Do SKF VA H series V-ring seals need lubrication?
- No, they run dry. The elastomer lip seals by elastic contact. Lubrication is applied to the bearing, not the seal. Avoid oils that could degrade the compound.
- Can I replace a V-ring from another brand with an SKF VA H one?
- Yes, as long as the shaft diameter and section match. The dimensions are standardized, but verify the material and hardness. Consult us and we'll help you with the equivalent.
