ALL-RUBBER V SEAL USED ON THE SHAFTS V seal is a solid all-rubber seal. The function of V seal is to exclude dust, dirt, water, oil splash or other aggressive contaminants from entering into the bearing housing while retaining grease. V seal is used on shafts. It works by stretching over the shaft to create a tight seal along the shaft while the flexible lip seals lightly against the counterface at a right angle to the shaft. In addition, V seal acts as flinger, since it rotates with the shaft and causes the lip to rotate against the housing or bearing. And as the speed increases, friction decreases due to centripetal force. What' more, V seal can be utilized as either a primary or backup seal and perform an excellent sealing job. AVAILABLE TYPES V seal has four available types, namely VA, VS, VE and VL. A black VA seal on the white background. VA SEAL Due to perpendicular rear face, intermediate cross-section and wide ranges of diameters, VA seal is the most popular V seal design. A black VS seal on the white background. VS SEAL Widely body tapered cross section provides higher radial force for high speed shafts. A black VE seal on the white background.
