Rubber V-Ring Seals

Rubber V-ring seals, also known as V-shaped gaskets or seal rings, are axial rubber seals typically used alongside other sealing elements on rotating shafts, or as protective seals for shafts and bearings. By rotating on the shaft, they provide sealing through axial pressure exerted by the lip onto the counter surface, creating an effective front-facing seal. Their primary purpose is to protect against dust, dirt, water, oils, and lubricants. Rubber V-rings are available in a wide range of sizes and can be used for various industrial applications.

These rubber V-ring seals are commonly used in combination with other types of seals, such as oil seals and special bearings. They are especially present in the automotive and mechanical sectors, including in transmission systems and electric motors, such as those found in heavy machinery and earth-moving equipment. Depending on the application’s requirements, the choice of materials can also be customized to ensure optimal performance.

At MGV, we respond to customer needs by designing V-ring seals with the required characteristics and rubber compounds, then proceeding to custom production and molding while adhering to the client’s specifications.

Selecting the appropriate material is crucial to prevent seal failure or wear, which could affect the application itself. When choosing the right rubber V-ring, it is important to consider factors such as operating temperature, type of fluid in contact, pressure levels, and the specific industry. For applications subject to high impact, evaluating the need for a seal with a metal insert is essential.

At MGV, we specialize in the design, production, and molding of seals and technical rubber articles for various sectors. MGV s.r.l. can produce all rubber parts according to customer specifications. Our technical department designs molds and tools required for manufacturing, using modern equipment such as multi-axis CNC centers and electrical discharge machining.
We evaluate the most suitable materials and consider surface treatments like Teflon coating and chrome plating to optimize the production. All products undergo a strict quality check and are carefully packed before being shipped worldwide.
