SKF 400500 V-Ring Axial Shaft Seal

The SKF 400500 is a small diameter V-Ring seal designed to provide effective protection against contamination in rotating shaft applications. V-Ring seals are elastomeric rotary shaft seals that feature a simple yet effective design, utilizing centrifugal force to create a dynamic sealing lip that deflects contaminants away from bearings and other critical components.

Key Features:

• Elastomeric construction provides flexibility and durability
• Simple installation - press fits onto the shaft without special tools
• Centrifugal sealing action increases effectiveness at higher speeds
• Minimal friction and wear on shaft surface
• Effective protection against dust, dirt, moisture, and other contaminants
• Compact axial design requires minimal space

V-Ring seals are ideal for applications where space is limited and primary sealing is provided by other means. They work by rotating with the shaft while the sealing lip remains stationary against a housing surface, creating a barrier that prevents contaminant ingress while allowing any internal pressure to vent.
