V-Ring
A V-Ring is an elastomer flinger that slides onto the shaft and turns with it. Its lip bears axially against a static face, and rotation throws water and dirt outward. Fitted ahead of the main seal it extends that seal's life — and it is often enough on its own as external protection.
Types and variants
The distinct designs that sit under this category.
Type A
The most common — a narrow body over a wide diameter range.
Type S
A heavier section for small diameters and higher contact pressure.
Type L
For large diameters and heavy contamination.
Material
NBR as standard; FKM for higher temperature and chemical resistance.
Where it is used
The applications this category most often serves.
- Front-line protection on motor and fan shafts
- Agricultural machinery and dusty environments
- Cement, mining and aggregate equipment
- Throwing water off on washdown lines
What we ask when selecting
What we need in order to find the right part. You do not need all of it — we can work out the rest together.
- Shaft diameter
- It is stretched onto the shaft, so sizes are given as a range.
- Counterface
- The face the lip runs against must be flat and hard enough.
- Surface speed
- At high speed the ring is secured with a clamping band.
- Temperature and chemicals
- The two factors that decide the compound.
Typical designations
Examples that make the designation readable — not a stock commitment.
- V-40 A
- Type A for a 40 mm shaft — the most common form.
- V-25 S
- Small diameter, heavier section.
- V-200 L
- Large diameter, heavy contamination.
Other categories in this group
Send us the designation or the dimensions — we will find the match.
A code you cannot find in the catalogue, a faded marking on an old bearing, or just the dimensions — any of the three is enough. The wrong bearing costs more than a late one.
