V- Ring seal is used with SNA, SNH, and SNL housings. For SDG and  PDN type housings, V- Ring seal are used as supplementary seal to  enhance sealing efficiency.

 V-Ring seal consist of a V-ring and steel sheet washer (TA). It is  designated as TA or TSNA 500A or TSNA 600A

 The V-ring of synthetic rubber has a thin sealing lip which acts in an  axial direction. The ring also servers as a flinger as it rotates with the  shaft. This type of seal is effective under most operating conditions.  V- ring is normally suitable for peripheral speeds up to 12 meter/sec  although axial location for the v-ring must be provided at peripheral  speeds in excess of 7meter/sec. Higher speeds than 12meter/sec can  be permitted if the V-Ring body is also radially clamped, using a steel  ring. The maximum permissible misalignment of the shaft is  approximately 1.5. degree for a shaft diameter of 50 mm, which  decrease to approximately 1 degree. for a shaft diameter of 150 mm.

 V-ring seals are suitable for temperature range of -40.0 C to 1000 C ,  grease lubrication and vertical mounting but less suitable in axial  shaft displacement oil lubrication. For external condition with dust,  sand and splashing fluid, V-ring seals are selected, but they are not  suitable with grit, sharp objects, chipping, splinters and sunshine.
