The SKF V-ring seal VE V series is a rotary sealing element that mounts on the shaft and rests its flexible lip against the front face of the housing. Its V-shaped design allows it to retain grease and repel water, dust and particles, even with misalignment or eccentricity. It is used in gearboxes, electric motors, pumps and industrial equipment where an additional barrier is sought without machining the housing. MR Accesorios Industriales carries this line as an official brand.

The designation of the VE V series is interpreted by the number that precedes it, which indicates the shaft diameter for which the seal is intended, and by the letters VE V, which identify the geometry and material of the lip. For example, the part number 515 VE V corresponds to a V-ring for a 5.15 inch shaft, with a nitrile rubber lip and flexible body. The suffix V indicates the profile variant, while VE defines the series for general applications. It is always advisable to verify the complete part number in the manufacturer's catalogue.

In Argentine industry, SKF V-rings from the VE V series are found in gear reducers, centrifugal pumps, fans, mills and conveyors. They are also used in electric motors and gearboxes exposed to environments with dust, water or chips. Their function is to protect the main bearings and radial shaft seals, extending the service life of the assembly. They are common in food, cement, steel and aggregate processing plants, where secondary sealing makes the difference.

To select the right V-ring, take into account the shaft diameter, rotation speed and type of contaminant. The lip must rest with slight interference on the machined face; if the contact is irregular, the seal will not seal. Lubricating the lip with compatible grease reduces wear. During mounting, check alignment and avoid hitting the lip. If the shaft has eccentricity, the V-ring absorbs it better than a conventional radial shaft seal, but it is advisable to consult the speed limits.

SKF V-rings from the VE V series can be interchanged with seals from other brands that follow the same dimensional standard, such as those of European or Asian manufacture with a similar profile. The key is to respect the shaft diameter and the overall width. Not all V-rings are equivalent: the lip material and hardness influence chemical and thermal resistance. If you need to replace an existing seal, send us the part number engraved on the part and we will confirm the available alternative.
