The SKF HS V series radial shaft seal is an elastomeric lip seal for rotating shafts in industrial equipment. It keeps lubricant in and blocks dust, water, and particles from entering, protecting bearings and gears. The seal presses into the housing and its flexible lip runs on the shaft, compensating for small misalignments. It is commonly found in pumps, motors, gearboxes, and transmissions, where a sealing failure accelerates wear and increases maintenance. MR Industrial Accessories LLC supplies this line and helps you select the correct size and compound.

Reading the HS V series part number is straightforward. Take the example 260X300X20 HS8 V: the first three numbers give the dimensions in millimeters — inner diameter, outer diameter, and width. The HS8 suffix identifies the lip design and rubber compound. The final V indicates a construction variant within the series. When you send the complete part number, we can interpret each block and check interchangeability with other brands. The HS V series covers high-speed seals built for fast-rotating shafts that require low friction.

These seals appear in food, chemical, petrochemical, and general manufacturing plants. Typical equipment includes centrifugal pumps, electric motors, gearboxes, mixers, conveyors, and process machinery. They are also common in maintenance shops that rebuild imported and domestic equipment. In environments with oils, greases, or frequent washdowns, the right compound makes a noticeable difference in seal performance.

Selecting a radial shaft seal requires the shaft diameter, rotation speed, operating temperature, and the fluid being retained. The lip must rest on a ground, lubricated surface; check for burrs or marks before mounting. Shaft-to-housing alignment is critical — excessive misalignment shortens seal life. Install with suitable tools, without striking the lip, and apply a small amount of compatible grease. If the equipment runs with high vibration, consider a seal with greater rigidity or one with an additional spring.

Radial shaft seals are identified by their dimensions and lip type. When finding a replacement, matching diameters alone is not enough: compare the profile, compound, and permissible speed. Brands such as SKF, NSK, Timken, or NTN offer equivalent lines, but suffixes vary and are not always interchangeable without verification. At MR Industrial Accessories LLC, we help you cross-reference the part number and find the best match for your equipment. Send a photo of the old part or the engraved part number and we will review it.
