  • Patent number: 8256772
    Abstract: For better assembling characteristic and sealing performance with secured circularity and coaxiality of a seal lip, a lip type seal installed to an inner periphery of a shaft hole of a housing in slidable contact with a peripheral surface of a shaft for inhibiting a sealed fluid in the machine from leaking to an atmospheric air side, has a cartridge fitted to an inner periphery of the shaft hole, a first lip seal member made of a rubber-like elastic material and fitted in a non-bonding manner to the cartridge, a case fitted in a non-bonding manner to the first lip seal member, a second lip seal member made of a resin and a backup ring supporting the second lip seal member which are retained by caulking to the case, and an adapter fitted to the cartridge at a sealed fluid side of the first lip seal member.
