The V-ring is a unique fully rubber-coated seal designed for rotating shafts. The V-ring provides an ideal sealing solution to protect against contamination from dirt, dust, and water or mixtures of these media from the outside, while simultaneously preventing grease leakage from within. Thanks to its distinctive design and mode of operation, the V-ring can be used with numerous types of bearings. It can also serve as a secondary sealing element to protect primary seals whose functionality may be compromised by aggressive environmental media.
