Abstract: A hydraulic manifold assembly includes a body (20) having an end face (28). Bolts (26) and a flange (22) are employed to mount the body (20) within a sealed chamber (14) in nominally aligned relation with an enlarged opening (30) from the chamber (14). External threads (50) adjacent the end face (28) extend through the opening (30) and a fluid conduit (32) terminates in a port (36) in the end face (28). A nut (52) is sized to cover the opening (30) for any position of nominal alignment of the body (20) to the opening (30) and is disposed on the threads (50) such that a side (64) of the nut covers the opening. A seal (62) is carried by the nut for sealing the interface of the nut (52) and a side (10) of the chamber (14).

Abstract: A shaft seal assembly has an elastomer load ring seated in an annular groove provided in an organic plastic sealing ring. The sealing ring is constructed to provide greater unit loading at the outer edges of the sealing surface than at the remainder of the sealing surface. The end faces of the sealing ring are free from contact with adjacent structure.
