  • System, Method and Apparatus for Lip Seal Assembly
    Publication number: 20140284883
    Abstract: A seal assembly includes a lip seal having an axis, a central opening and a radial extension extending radially inward. The radial extension may be adapted to apply a sealing force against a shaft extending through the central opening by bending. The radial extension may extend at least partially along an axial direction. A support member that is resilient may be positioned adjacent the radial extension such that the support member limits bending of the radial extension.
