SEAL SPECIFICATION GUIDE

SEAL SPECIFICATION GUIDE
V-SEALS
V-Seals can be used on an eccentric or slightly misaligned
shaft. V-Seals are extremely easy to mount. Made entirely of
rubber, the V-Seals are slipped over the shaft and mounted
against the counterface. Desirable for retrofitting, V-Seals
can be stretched over a flange during assembly.
V-Seals reduce inventory requirements. Because of its
elasticity, the same size V-Seals can be fitted to a variety
of different size shafts.
Interference pressure of the seal lip against the counterface
is much lower with V-Seals than with a conical seal. Less
pressure means less drag and lower torque requirements
from your power source.
V-Seal is manufactured using a variety of compounds
which include:
Nitrile
Temperature Range:
-40˚ - 225˚ F.
Viton (Flouraelastomer) – For high temperature and/or
aggressive mediums
Temperature Range:
-30˚ - +325˚ F. (Dynamic Application)
-50˚ - +450˚ F. (Static Application)
V-Seals are also available in neoprene, sillicon, polyacryclic
and other elastomers, to meet a variety of application
requirements.
V-Seals, as opposed to conventional radial seals, afford less
emphasis on design, machining and axial tolerances. V-Seals
will not "groove" the shaft shaving maintenance and remanufacturing
costs. If properly designed, V-Seals can be used in
applications demanding 5000 FPM.
V-Seals are manufactured in different profiles to suit a variety
of application needs. Requirements for V-Seals are 32 to 125
RMS, depending on the particular application. Applications
for V-Seals include:
