SKF V-ring seals in the VS R series are axial elastomer seals featuring a V-shaped lip. They are mounted on the shaft and seal against a perpendicular face, creating a barrier that keeps dust, water, and splashes away from bearings and housings. Friction is minimal, making them a practical, low-cost addition to many sealing arrangements.
The part number is straightforward: a number followed by VS R. The number indicates the nominal shaft diameter in millimeters. So 12 VS R fits a 12 mm shaft, 20 VS R fits a 20 mm shaft, and 30 VS R fits a 30 mm shaft. The VS R suffix defines the lip shape and the standard material. Width dimensions and tolerances are not part of the code; refer to the appropriate table for those details.
These seals are common in pumps, electric motors, gear reducers, conveyors, and agricultural equipment. They handle dusty conditions and water spray well, so they appear in food processing, cement plants, and industrial wash areas. In bearing housings, they often serve as a secondary seal to help retain lubricant.
Selection starts with the shaft diameter and the permissible peripheral speed. The lip must run against a machined face perpendicular to the shaft, with suitable surface roughness. Lightly grease or oil the lip to reduce wear. Check alignment between shaft and sealing face to avoid leaks. Press the seal on by hand or with a suitable tool, taking care not to damage the elastomer.
SKF V-rings can be interchanged with seals from other brands that follow the same dimensional standard. When replacing, compare shaft diameter, lip profile, and material. A same-size V-ring from another brand may work, but confirm chemical and thermal compatibility for your application.
