The V-Ring L10 is a specialized rotary seal designed with a small profile geometry, making it ideal for compact installation situations. As with other V-Ring models, it performs various tasks in sealing rotating shafts, such as keeping out dirt, dust, water, and other contaminants. It effectively protects radial shaft seals against external contamination and seals against leaking grease.
The advantages of the V-Ring L10 are similar to those of other V-Ring models. It offers versatile application possibilities, making it suitable for various industries and machinery types. The V-Ring L10 does not require high demands on the machining of shafts and housings, allowing for compatibility with a wide range of equipment. Its low friction characteristics contribute to energy efficiency and smooth operation, while its ability to withstand high circumferential speeds ensures reliable sealing performance in demanding operating conditions. The V-Ring L10 is also insensitive to coaxiality and eccentricity, providing effective sealing even in less-than-ideal alignment situations. With a long lifespan, the V-Ring L10 offers durable sealing performance, reducing maintenance and replacement needs. Furthermore, it is easy to assemble, simplifying the installation process.
V-Rings, including the L10 model, are expanded during assembly and slid to 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 versatility of V-Rings allows the counter face to be formed by various components, such as 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 of the V-Ring L10 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 and further enhanced by the swinging effect caused by rotation.
In summary, the V-Ring L10 is a compact profile rotary seal designed for efficient sealing in compact installation situations. Its purpose is to effectively seal rotating shafts, preventing the ingress of contaminants and leakage of grease. With its compact profile geometry, the V-Ring L10 provides reliable sealing performance while minimizing space requirements. Trust in the V-Ring L10 for efficient and effective sealing solutions in compact applications.
