The SKF VA V series V-ring seal is an axial sealing element that mounts on the shaft and rotates with it. Its flexible elastomer lip contacts a perpendicular face, usually the front surface of a bearing or a flange, and expels contaminants such as dust, water or particles. It is used in rotating equipment where a simple and effective dynamic barrier is required, and it is a common solution in pumps, gearboxes and electric motors. MR Accesorios Industriales supplies this series as part of its industrial seals line.
The VA V series designation combines a number indicating the seal's inner diameter, expressed in millimeters, with the letters VA V that identify the V-lip design. For example, 16 VA V corresponds to a seal for a 16 mm shaft, while 40 VA V is for a 40 mm shaft. The VA V suffix indicates the lip geometry and the manufacturing material, although specific properties should be checked in the product data sheet. This nomenclature allows quick selection of the seal according to shaft size.
In Argentine industry, SKF VA V series V-ring seals are used in a wide variety of applications: centrifugal pumps, gear reducers, electric motors, compressors, fans and transmission equipment. Their ability to work in dusty or splash-prone environments makes them common in food plants, cement plants, mining and water treatment. They are also used in agricultural machinery, where dust and moisture require additional bearing protection.
To correctly select a V-ring seal, it is essential to verify the shaft diameter and the permissible peripheral speed. Mounting is done directly on the shaft, without the need to machine a housing, and the lip must rest on a perpendicular, ground surface. Lubricating the lip with compatible grease or oil helps reduce wear. It is important to ensure proper alignment between the shaft and the contact face to avoid premature leaks.
SKF V-ring seals are interchangeable with equivalent products from other recognized brands, provided critical dimensions and elastomer material are respected. When requesting a quote, it is advisable to indicate the complete seal code and operating conditions, such as temperature and speed. MR Accesorios Industriales can advise you on the best option for your equipment.
