Why use a V-Seal? Technical Advantages: 1. Low Friction and therefore lower power losses 2. Simplified Design 3. Can accommodate some shaft misalignment and eccentric running. Economic Advantages: 1. Flexible lip is unlikely to become damaged during storage and assembly over splined shafts or other protruding parts. 2. Wider machining tolerance mean less rejection and wastage of expensive mating components. Commercial Advantages: 1. One size V-Seal can be used on more than one shaft size. Sizes overlap, eliminating need for metric and imperial ranges and stock. 2. 85 sizes cover every possible shaft size from 3mm (1/8”) to 2000mm (80”).
