V-Ring

Its design is based on three components: The body, a conical self-adjusting lip, and a hinge. The elastic body adheres to the rotating shaft while the actual sealing occurs at the point of contact between the conical lip and counterface The V-Ring's flexible hinge causes the sealing lip to apply very light contact pressure against the counterface. V-ring seals are available in a large variety of designs and sizes to fit the requirements of most applications. Normally, the V-rings are made out of Nitrile rubber of hardness 65 to 70° shore 'A' for a working temperature upto 100 ° C. When the temperatures are high, there the Viton material can be used. The V-Rings is fitted by simply stretching over and sliding onto the shaft and clamped.
