  • Publication number: 20120319355
    Abstract: A mechanical seal includes a seal cartridge and a removal formation. The seal cartridge includes an outer cylindrical surface, an inner cylindrical surface concentric to the outer cylindrical surface, and a ring surface connecting the outer cylindrical surface and the inner cylindrical surface to define an inner cavity interior to the seal cartridge. The removal formation is arranged on the ring surface, and includes a first surface proximate the ring surface, an indentation feature proximate the first surface, and a seal puller feature proximate the indentation feature defining a channel configured to allow application of removal forces to the seal cartridge.

  • Patent number: 5145324
    Abstract: An improved RAM air turbine (30) for the generation of emergency power on an airplane is disclosed. The RAM air turbine has an operational range in which reduced power is produced by a power controller (40) at speeds at which stalling of the RAM air turbine would occur under the control of a governor (16) which adjusts the pitch of the blades (12) of the turbine in combination with a pressure regulator (150) controlling the output of pressurized hydraulic fluid from a variable displacement hydraulic pump (19).
