V-Rings are used mainly in combination with other types of seals such as rotary shaft seals and as pre-sealing elements for bearings and shafts. V-Rings are often applied in drive technology, in general mechanical engineering and plant engineering. V-Rings are also found in electric engines, transmissions, agricultural machines, bearing pedestals and rolling mills. They are used to seal against dust, dirt, lubricant, oil or water spray from the outside.
