PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The V-ring serves as a lip seal but also as a slinger. The V-ring is stretched out on the shaft and must be installed at right angles with a precisely defined distance to the metal counter surface in order to ensure an axial preload of the sealing lip. The end face of a bearing, the end wall of a housing, a shaft collar and a flange cover serve as the counter surface. The V-ring rotates with the shaft and seals axially on the counter surface. As the circumferential speed increases, the centrifugal force pushes the sealing lip outwards, thereby reducing the contact pressure. Above a certain circumferential speed, the sealing lip lifts off completely from the metal counter surface. The V-ring then only acts as a gap seal and flinger.
PRODUCT ADVANTAGES
- simple sealing element - sealing against dirt, grease, oil or water splashes - can be used well in combination with radial shaft seals - low demands on the counter surface with regard to surface quality - simple assembly - is stretched on the shaft - the running friction is reduced with increasing circumferential speed the centrifugal force effect - good dynamic sealing effect - compensates for slight axial movements as well as angular and radial misalignments - protects radial shaft sealing rings from abrasive ambient conditions
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The V-Ring serves as a lip seal but also as a centrifugal disc. The V-Ring is stretched onto the shaft and must be installed at an accurately defined distance from the counter-rotating metal surface to guarantee axial preload of the seal lip. The end of a bearing, the bearing case or a shaft collar serve as counter-rotating surface. The V-Ring rotates with the shaft and seals axially on the counter surface. With increasing peripheral speed, the seal lip is pulled outwards by the centrifugal force and the contact pressure is reduced. At a certain peripheral speed, the seal lip lifts off the counter metal surface completely. The V-ring then functions only as a gap seal and centrifugal disc.
PRODUCT ADVANTAGES
- single function sealing element - seals against dust, dirt, lubricant, oil or water spray - works well in combination with rotary shaft seals - low demands on the counter surface with regard to the surface quality - simple installation - is stretched onto the shaft - the dynamic friction reduces with increasing peripheral speed due to the centrifugal force - good dynamic sealing effect - balances light axial movements as well as angle and rotary settings - protects rotary shaft seals from abrasive environmental conditions
