SKF 404000 VR1 V-Ring Seal Nitrile Rubber

The SKF 404000 is a VR1 design V-Ring seal engineered for rotating shaft applications requiring effective protection against contamination. This axial seal features a solid V-ring construction made from durable nitrile rubber (NBR) material, designed to accommodate shaft diameters ranging from 15.354 to 16.929 inches.

Key Features:

• VR1 solid design with 0.787-inch seal width for robust sealing performance
• Nitrile rubber construction for excellent resistance to oils and petroleum-based fluids
• Seat width of 0.563 inches provides stable contact surface
• Operating temperature range of -40°F to +210°F (-40°C to +100°C)
• Installs directly on shaft, held in place by inherent tension of seal body
• Rotates with shaft and seals axially against stationary counter face
• Features flexible, conical-shaped sealing lip with integral resilient hinge

V-Ring seals are ideal for protecting bearings and other components from dust, dirt, moisture, and other contaminants in industrial, agricultural, and heavy-duty equipment. The VR1 design provides reliable sealing in confined spaces where traditional lip seals may not fit. Also cross-referenced as Chicago Rawhide CR Seals 404000 and Forsheda V-Ring 1518-2.
