V-Rings


A v-ring seal is a one-piece seal which is mounted on a shaft and seals axially against a counterface and normally rotates with the shaft.

The construction of a v-ring seal is divided into three parts:

a. the body
b. the lip
c. the hinge


ERIKS offers v-rings manufactured with four standard profiles.

  • The S type v-rings are designed for shaft sizes up to 200 mm.
  • The A type v-rings are designed for shaft sizes up to 2020 mm.
  • The L type v-rings are designed for use when the sealing house is limited or as part of a labyrinth sealing application.
  • The E type v-rings are designed with a reinforced profile for rigid applications where more axial tolerances are required.




Type A


V-ring type A with bevel back serves as a pressure less, axial rod seal with a very short mounting length, which is clamped on a shaft. The flexible sealing lip seals a counterface at a right angle to the shaft preventing dirt, dust and splash to enter the construction.

Standard Materials

Material: NBR FPM
Color: black brown
Hardness: 60° Shore A 60° Shore A

Operational Range

T: NBR: -40 till +100°C | FPM: -25 till +200°C
V: ≤ 8m/s, from 8 to 12 m/s radial support is recommended.
With speeds over 15 m/s the lip will come off the counter face.

Type S


V-ring type S with bevel back serves as a pressureless, axial rod seal which is clamped on a shaft. The flexible sealing lip seals a counterface at a right angle to the shaft, preventing dirt, dust and splash to enter the construction.

Standard Materials

Material: NBR FPM
Color: black brown
Hardness: 60° Shore A 60° Shore A

Operational Range

T: NBR: -40 till +100°C | FPM: -25 till +200°C
V: ≤ 8m/s, from 8 to 12 m/s radial support is recommended.
With speeds over 15 m/s the lip will come off the counter face.

Additional Details

Type L


V-ring type L with straight back serves as a pressureless axial rod seal with a very small mounting length, which is clamped on the shaft. The flexible sealing lip seals a counterface at a right angle to the shaft preventing dirt, dust and splash to enter the construction.

Standard Materials

Material: NBR
Color: black
Hardness: 60° Shore A

Operational Range

T: NBR: -40 till +100°C
V: ≤ 8m/s, from 8 to 12 m/s radial support is recommended.
With speeds over 15 m/s the lip will come off the counter face.

Additional Details

Type E


V-ring type E with straight back serves as a pressureless axial rod seal with a very small mounting length, which is clamped on the shaft. The flexible sealing lip seals a counter face at a right angle to the shaft preventing dirt, dust and splash to enter the construction. Thetype E is designed for heavy use or is applied in situations where larger axial tolerances are required. This profile is delivered for shafts from Ø450 to Ø2010 mm.

Standard Materials

Material: NBR FPM
Color: black brown
Hardness: 60° Shore A  

Operational Range

T: NBR: -30 till +100°C | FPM: -15 till +200°C
V: ≤ 8m/s, from 8 to 12 m/s radial support is recommended.
With speeds over 15 m/s the lip will come off the counter face.
