The V-Ring A10 is a rotary seal designed to provide reliable shaft sealing in a variety of applications. This seal is specifically designed to keep out dirt, dust, water, and other contaminants from rotating shafts. It acts as a protective barrier for radial shaft seals, preventing external contamination and sealing against leaking grease.
One of the key advantages of the V-Ring A10 is its versatile application possibilities. It can be used in various industries and machinery types, making it a versatile sealing solution. Additionally, the V-Ring A10 does not place high demands on the machining of shafts and housings, making it compatible with a wide range of equipment. Its low friction characteristics contribute to energy efficiency and smooth operation.
The V-Ring A10 can withstand high circumferential speeds, making it suitable for applications with demanding operating conditions. It is insensitive to coaxiality and eccentricity, ensuring effective sealing performance even in less-than-ideal alignment situations. With a long lifespan, the V-Ring A10 provides durable sealing performance, reducing maintenance and replacement needs. Moreover, it is easy to assemble, simplifying installation processes.
The structure and operation of V-Rings involve their expansion during assembly, allowing them to be slid into the intended position on the shaft. Due to their inherent tension, they adhere to the surface of the shaft. V-Rings rotate with the axis and seal in the axial direction against a vertical counter surface.
The counter face for V-Rings can be formed by various components, including the housing itself, a housing cover, a pressed plate, the front of a roller bearing outer ring, or the metal stiffening ring of a radial seal.
When the shaft is stationary, the sealing lip rests against the counter surface with an initial pressing pressure. As the shaft starts to rotate, the centrifugal force acts on the pressing pressure with increasing circumferential speed. At a specific circumferential speed, typically around 15 to 20 m/s, the lip starts to lift, reducing the pressing pressure to zero. Friction losses increase almost linearly with increasing circumferential speed, up to approximately 10 m/s. The sealing effect is achieved through the contact between the dust lip and the counter surface, combined with the swinging effect caused by rotation.
In summary, the V-Ring A10 is a versatile rotary seal that provides effective shaft sealing by keeping out contaminants and preventing leakage. Its versatile application possibilities, low friction, high circumferential speeds, insensitivity to alignment, long lifespan, and ease of assembly make it a reliable choice for various industries and machinery types. Choose the V-Ring A10 for optimal shaft sealing performance and protection.
