The V-Ring is fixed on the shaft, they seal axially against a perpendicular
counterface, whether it is the housing itself or a bearing outer surface. They
can be utilized as either a primary or backup seal and do an excellent job as a
slinger of foreign materials, especially at higher speeds.
There are two primary styles of Dichtomatik axial face seals. The V-ring, which
is an all rubber product, can be stretched over fittings, flanges or other
obstacles and mounted directly on the shaft so that disassembly is not
required. Available in both nitrile and Viton® materials, it can accommodate a
great deal of both shaft eccentricity and misalignment. Because of centrifugal
forces, the friction of the seal against the axial face decreases with
increases of shaft speed. Two styles, the VA and VS, are standard. Because of
their elasticity, each size in both series can be used for a variety of shaft
sizes.
If your requirements are of low or high volume Dichtomatik Technical Sales
Department can assist you in the proper seal selection for your application.
Dichtomatik product quality is of the highest priority and both manufacturing
and non-manufacturing processes are ISO 9001:2000 certified.
