V-Ring and Other Rubber Parts
V rings are flexible rubber sealing elements commonly used on rotating shafts as auxiliary seals to block dust, dirt, splash, and other contaminants. They are often used as protective sealing components in conjunction with other sealing arrangements to improve equipment reliability and contamination control.
In addition to V rings, 3D Seals can support a range of rubber parts used in industrial sealing and protection applications, depending on equipment design and service conditions. These components are especially useful where flexible sealing, simple installation, and environmental protection are required.
Split designs of V-Ring are also available on request.
