The V-Ring an elastomer axial seal for shaft bearings. It seals axially against a conterface. This type of seal has been used widely for several applications and has proven to be reliable and effective against dust, dirt, water, oil splash and other media.
The V-Ring consists of three parts:
a - The seal body, installed to connect with the shaft
b - The hinge, acting as a spring connection between the body and the lip
c - The conical self-adjusting lip which provides the actual dynamic sealing against the counterface
The counterface can be outside the bearing cap, a washer or any suitable metal pressing.
