A v-ring is an all rubber seal that mounts directly on a shaft and seals axially against either the housing or the metal case of a shaft seal. Once installed into an assembly, a v-ring will rotate with the shaft - unlike a shaft seal. Because v-rings rotate with the shaft they are often used in applications as slingers or deflectors. The centrifugal forces that are created by the rotating v-ring will deflect any contaminants oil, dirt, sand, etc. - away from the sealing point of the application. Unlike a shaft seal, the v-ring is made out of 100% rubber which makes it completely elastic. Because they are elastic, v-rings can be installed into most applications without having to disassemble any components that may otherwise need to be removed for a standard seal to be installed. Also, each v-ring works on a range of shaft diameters instead of one specific shaft diameter like a standard shaft seal. The VA style v-ring is the most common style used in the industry.
