VE R series V-ring seals are rotary sealing elements that mount on the shaft and seal against a perpendicular face. Their flexible elastomer lip acts as a deflector and seal, protecting bearings and housings from dust, water and particles. They are used in equipment where the shaft rotates and an effective barrier is needed without machining the housing. MR Accesorios Industriales supplies this SKF line with technical advice to choose the right size.
The designation of these seals combines a three-digit number with the letters VE R. That number indicates the shaft diameter on which it mounts: for example, 310 VE R corresponds to a 310 mm shaft, 360 VE R to a 360 mm one and 430 VE R to a 430 mm one. The letters VE identify the V-ring category and the R distinguishes the profile variant. When ordering a replacement, the numeric code is the data that defines the fit on the shaft.
In Argentine industry they are found in pumps, gearboxes, electric motors, conveyors and process equipment. They also appear in applications with high exposure to dust or water, such as food plants, cement plants, mining and effluent treatment. Their function is to prevent contaminants from reaching the bearing or housing, extending the life of the assembly and reducing unscheduled maintenance stops.
To select the seal, check the shaft diameter and the equipment's rotation speed. The lip must rest with slight interference on the sealing face; if the assembly is misaligned, the seal does not perform its function. Lubricating the lip with compatible grease helps reduce wear. In very dirty environments, it is advisable to combine it with a radial shaft seal or a labyrinth for an additional barrier.
SKF V-rings are interchangeable with equivalent products from other brands when the shaft diameter and profile match. Not all manufacturers use the same nomenclature, so cross-referencing must be done by dimensions and not by code. If you have doubts, send us the shaft dimensions and a photo of the assembly so we can guide you on the equivalence.

Frequently Asked Questions
- How do I know what size of V-ring I need?
- The number in the code indicates the shaft diameter in millimeters. Measure the shaft where the seal rests and choose the reference that matches. If the shaft is worn, consult us before defining the size.
- Can a V-ring from another brand be replaced with an SKF one?
- Yes, as long as the shaft diameter and profile match. Interchangeability is defined by dimensions, not by code. Send us the original reference or the dimensions and we will help you find the equivalent.
- What lubrication does the V-ring lip need?
- A layer of grease compatible with the elastomer is recommended before mounting. That reduces initial friction and wear. In service, the seal works dry or with the equipment's own lubrication.
