Description
SKF 180 VL R belongs to v-ring seal, part of our Seals range. Tell us how many you need by WhatsApp or email and we'll get back to you promptly with a quote for 180 VL R and any equivalents.
VL R series V-ring seals are rotary seals with a V-shaped lip that mounts on the shaft and seals against a perpendicular face. Because they are elastic, they suit bearing and gearbox housing protection against dust, water and splashes, including high-speed shaft applications. MR Industrial Accessories supplies them within its seals and oil seals line for industrial maintenance.
The part number combines a number for the nominal shaft diameter with the letters VL R. For instance, 140 VL R, 150 VL R and 160 VL R fit shafts of 140 mm, 150 mm and 160 mm respectively. VL indicates the profile geometry, and the final R identifies the compound and hardness variant. Larger numbers correspond to larger shaft diameters.
Typical installations include pumps, electric motors, gearboxes, conveyor rollers and process equipment. They are common in food, paper, cement and oil & gas operations where external contamination must be kept out. They also serve as secondary protection ahead of radial shaft seals, helping to extend bearing service life.
Selection depends on the shaft diameter and the permissible peripheral speed. The seal is pressed onto the shaft without removing the bearing, and the lip must rest on a machined perpendicular face. Applying compatible grease to the lip before mounting supports sealing and reduces wear. Correct shaft alignment helps prevent premature leakage.
V-rings are identified by diameter and profile, so dimensional equivalents exist across brands. Always confirm the compound and temperature range before substituting one seal for another. If you are unsure, send the complete part number and operating conditions via WhatsApp and we will advise you.
MR Industrial Accessories supplies SKF V-ring seals as part of its industrial sealing range. For a quote on the VL R series, message us on WhatsApp with the shaft size and application. Our technical team will respond with the right option for your equipment.

Frequently asked questions
- How do I choose the correct size of a VL R V-ring seal?
- Measure the shaft diameter where the seal mounts and match it to the number. For example, a 150 mm shaft uses 150 VL R. If the shaft is worn, contact us via WhatsApp before selecting a size.
- Can they be mounted without disassembling the bearing?
- Yes, the V-ring stretches over the shaft without removing the bearing. This simplifies maintenance and reduces downtime on industrial equipment.
- What is the difference between a V-ring and a radial shaft seal?
- The V-ring seals against a perpendicular face and does not require housing machining, while the radial shaft seal seals against the shaft and needs a housing. They are often combined for better protection.
