V-Ring seals
A versatile, cost-effective sealing solution
V-ring shaft seals utilize centrifugal slinger action to
provide effective protection against dry and wet
contamination. In combination with an SKF metal-cased
radial seal, the V-ring reduces wear and extends the
service life of the oil seal and bearings. The V-ring also
performs well in dry running applications. Because it is all rubber
and very elastic, it can be stretched over flanges or other
components for easy installation with minimal unit disassembly. It
has very low torque drag and heat build up, and does not require
expensive countersurface preparation.

A unique sealing concept


VR4 A heavy-duty large diameter style commonly used in
rolling mills as a secondary seal for heavy duty applications
where the primary seal has to be protected against water and
or particulate contamination. VR4 is the preferred heavy duty
V-ring in replacement applications. Selected sizes are in stock
and others can be made to order. For new designs, the VR6
should be considered and has similar mounting dimensions.
Available in both nitrile and fluoroelastomer for shafts from
11.811" (300mm) to over 78" (2000mm).

The V-ring is an all-rubber seal available from SKF. It is


mounted directly on the shaft by hand and seals against a
counterface. This unique design has been extensively used
on a broad range of applications.
Designed with a long, flexible lip, the V-ring can act as
a face seal, a lip seal or slinger. The construction is three
part: the body (a), the conical self-adjusting lip (b) and the
hinge (c). The elastic body holds itself in place on the
rotating shaft while dynamic sealing takes place where the
lip is in axial contact with the counterface. The counterface
should be metal and can be the end of a gearbox housing,
a washer, a suitable steel stamping, even the back of an oil
seal. Generally no seal bore is required and no shaft
preparation is needed.
In addition to highly effective contaminant exclusion, Vrings can be used to retain grease lubricants. However,
with proper countersurface preparation they can run dry
with very low torque loss and good service life.
Because the V-ring is very elastic (smaller V-rings can
be stretched up to 2 1/2 times their free diameter) it can
often be easily fitted to shafts without disassembly of the
uniteven over flanges, pillow blocks, or other assemblies.
One size V-ring can be used on a number of shaft sizes
either English or metric dimension. Less than 142 sizes
covers a wide range of shaft sizes from .110" (2.7mm) to 29'
(9000mm). Sizes up to 79.530" (2020mm) and beyond are
available in nitrile or fluoroelastomer (Viton) covering a wide
variety of media compatibility in temperature ranges from
-40F to 212F (nitrile) and -15F to 392F fluoroelastomer.

VR5 A heavy-duty large diameter style designed to operate in


the severe conditions found in metals and paper mills. The
unique body profile can accommodate radial and axial support
in high shaft speeds applications. It has an extension that can
be fitted into mechanical components or trimmed to length to
meet existing space requirements (contact SKF for details).
Available for shaft diameters from 11.811" (300mm) to over
78" (2000mm) in nitrile and fluoroelastomer on a made-toorder basis.
VR6 This heavy-duty profile is also designed primarily for
protecting high speed bearing arrangements in rolling mills,
papermaking and large machine applications. It should
especially be considered for new equipment designs. The
shape is similar to the VR5 except it does not have the
extension to the rear of the body section, allowing a narrower
B1. It does retain the saddle feature for axial and radial
location on the shaft with a specially designed clamping band.
The key installation dimensions are the same as the VR4
except for the body height. Available on a made to order basis
in both nitrile and fluoroelastomer for shafts from 11.811"
(300mm) to over 78" (2000mm). Contact SKF Sealing
Solutions for specific size and installation data.

In addition, special constructions and sizes can be made to


order including split versions.
There are six styles of V-rings.
VR1 The most common style available in the widest range of
sizes from .110" (2.7mm) shaft to 79.530" (2020mm) nitrile
and fluoroelastomer. Ideal for protecting gearboxes, electric
motors and drives.
VR2 The original V-ring designed with a wide body and
tapered heel to firmly hold the ring on the shaft. Available in
sizes from .180" (4.5mm) shaft to 8.270" (210mm).
Commonly used in agricultural and automotive applications.

V-Ring permits considerable misalignment.

VR3 Very compact axial cross-section commonly used in


confined spaces to replace labyrinth seals. Available in nitrile
and fluoroelastomer for shaft sizes from 4.134" (105mm)
shaft to 78.745" (2000mm) and beyond.

Can be used on oval or eccentric shafts.

For cross sectional drawings, please see page 4.


Note: Beyond the six primary V-ring styles and rubber
compounds, options are available for special installation
dimensions and operating conditions (ie. confined spaces,
exposure to caustic fluids). Many V-ring profiles can be
ordered for shaft diameters beyond 78.740" (2000mm).

Versatile, cost-effective sealing


Technical simplicitysimplicity-Low friction and minimal loss of
power. In smaller power units this can be significant. The
pressure of the lip against the counterface is very light.
EconomicalEconomical-Wide machining tolerances-little or no shaft
finishing. No housing required. No shaft wear. Seals resist
damage during installation. One size covers many shaft
sizes.
VersatileVersatile-Works equally well on rotating or oscillating
shafts and at speeds over 3000 FPM. At high speeds the
lip lifts away from the counterface and acts as a clearance
slinger. Can even be installed split and rejoined.
CompoundsCompounds-Standard materials include nitrile and
fluoroelastomer. Non-standard materials include hydrogenated nitrile, silicone, chloroprene and ethylene propylene.
Parts in an FDA approved compound are available.
V-rings with special compounds are marked with a
colored dot to indicate the compound used in manufacturing the V-ring. V-18 and smaller in fluoroelastomer are
brown with no color dot.

Operating conditions

Surface treatment: In presence of grease, oil, or dry


lubricants, no special surface treatment is required. When
the counterface is exposed to water or other corrosive
elements, mild steel surfaces should be either zinc-plated
and passivated; chromium plated or cadmium plated;
treated with an anti-corrosive spray such as Molykote 106,
or painted. The choice of treatment will depend on the
overall running conditions.

Speeds:

Surface finish: The rate of abrasion of the V-ring is


influenced by a number of factors, one of which is the
surface finish of the counterface. It is recommended that
turned surfaces be buffed with emery cloth to remove any
sharp peaks arising from the turning operation.
The surface finish should be measured at approximately
90 degrees to the path of the groove to obtain a true
reading of the surface.

Typical
application

Installation: Where the V-ring is used as a grease seal/


contaminant excluder, the V-ring is normally mounted on
the outside of a bearing housing with axial support when
required.
In the case of mass production, it is always advisable to
use an assembly tool. Where small quantities are involved,
the V-ring may be fitted by using a blunt instrument, such
as a screw driver, to manipulate the seal into the correct
position.
General rules:

Cold Rolling Mills


Paper Machines
Wire Mills
Auto Gear Box
Centrifugal Pump
Earth Moving Eqpt.
Wheel Hub, Mixers,
Electric Motors,
Hot Rolling Mills
Ball Mills,
Suspension Units,
Conveyor Rollers

1. The V-ring, the counterface and the shaft should


be clean.
2. The shaft should preferably be dry and free from
grease or oil, particularly when the V-ring is
mounted without axial support.
3. The lip of the V-ring should be lubricated with a thin
film of grease or silicone oil.
4. In cases when friction must be reduced to a minimum, coat the counterface with a low friction agent,
such as Molykote 7409, and do not apply grease to
the lip.
5. Ensure that the V-ring is mounted with a uniform
stretch around the shaft.
6. Confirm that the d2, d3 and B1 dimensions are
correct.

Additional information: Aluminum surfaces should be free


of scratch marks. Hardness should be > 100 HB in abrasive
applications. Die cast aluminum can be used in the as-cast
condition. Steel and cast iron surfaces should be free from
lead and sharp tool marks. Cold roll steel stampings can be
used without machining.
Plastic materials are generally not acceptable as
counterface materials due to poor heat dissipation. Similarly, stainless steel should not be used in dry running
applications unless the speed is < 200 ft/min (1 m/s).

MVR axial shaft seals


Frictional heat build-up and torque drag are very low
compared to contacting radial shaft seals. As rotary
speed increases, the MVR seal lip lifts off the
countersurface starting at about 2362 FPM (12 M/S)
and drops to zero contact by 3937 FPM (20 M/S). Like
the V-ring, the high rotary speed prevents contamination ingress while minimizing power loss.
Service life is considerably higher than radial seals in
contaminated environments and can extend to thousands of hours.

For added protection in extremely contaminated applications, in addition to our standard V-ring; SKF also offers
the type MVR. The MVR seal also seals axially and functions by combining positive lip contact with centrifugal
"slinging" action. However, the MVR seal is different in that
the rubber element is stretch fitted into a metal shell. The
metal shell is then press-fitted onto the shaft. This shell
provides excellent protection from heavy debris and it
automatically accommodates high rotating speeds without
auxiliary clamping devices.

Construction: The MVR seal lip is made from an 80 durometer nitrile rubber with very good wear resistance. Other
elastomers are possible in production lot orders. There are
two versions of the metal shell, the MVR1 and the MVR2
with shell extension. Please refer to the illustrations below
for details. The stock metal element is zinc plated coldrolled carbon steel. Acid resistant steel similar to SAE 316
is available by special order.

Advantages/user benefits:
The metal shell serves as a support and deflector. The
rubber body and lip are protected from damage and
displacement by external debris (i.e. rocks, viscous
media).
In most cases, the shell also functions as a holder that
keeps the rubber lip in position during high surface
speeds. No additional axial or radial retention is required. Contact SKF regarding radial retention limits.
Due to its compact design, narrow installation widths
are possible.

Temp-range: Generally the same as NBR V-rings or


-40C to 100C (-40F to 212F).

MVR axial shaft seals


Principal uses: In gearboxes, speed reducers, saws,
lathes, motors, mixers and any rotary shaft application
where high contamination reduces the life of radial seals
and bearings. Of course, the MVR seal can also serve as a
primary seal to retain heavy lubricants or for dry running
service.

Installation:
The machined I.D. of the MVR seal must be press-fitted
to the shaft with a suitable tool. (See illustrations below
for details.) As with radial seals, the metal case must
not be struck with a hammer.

Sizes:

The seal lip face should be lightly greased at assembly


(but not between the lip and case).

The standard size range is set for metric shaft sizes


with ISO tolerances. Tooling inch sizes for quantities
under 100 pieces is generally not practical due to die
charges.

A shaft finish of 4um Ra (160u inch) is sufficient. A


lead-in chamfer should be provided. No splines or
keyways allowed.
Countersurfaces should be prepared the same way as
for V-rings. Avoid aluminum or soft metals where
abrasive contamination is expected. Sharp peaks on
turned surfaces should be polished off.

Availability: Five days to 4 weeks ARO from stock subject


to prior sale or 12 weeks or more from production. New
tooling will extend this longer.
Stock size ranges, tolerances and general drawings are
shown in the charts on page 14. SKF's Product Management is available to assist with material or technical
recommendations.

Application examples

Bevel Pinion. MVR Type 2 is an effective protection against dirt. The


outer case of the inner shaft lip seal acts as counterface for the
MVR.

Supporting bearing for propeller shaft. MVR Type 1, fitted on each


side of the bearing, seals both grease and dirt.

Gear transmission for electric motor. MVR Type 1 protects against


dirt and liquid splash. The inner rotary shaft lip seal provides the
counterface for the MVR seal.

Electric Motor. MVR Type 2 requires little space in axial direction


and can easily be installed without increasing the overall length of
the motor. The case protects the sealing member mechanically and
creates a clearance seal as well.
