  • Patent number: 6450503
    Abstract: A seal assembly to be inserted between two members in relative rotation, including a bushing that is fitted to the first member and is connected with a gasket, wherein both connections form fluid-tight seals. The gasket includes a rigid reinforcement that is fitted via a fluid-tight seal to the second member and a first sealing member, which is made of an elastomeric material and provided with a first annular lip. The first annular lip contacts the sleeve-type coupling portion of the bushing, which is mounted coaxially with the first lip. The portion of the reinforcement facing the bushing is provided with a seat in which a rigid ring made of an oxidation-resistant material is mounted. The rigid ring extends in front of the flange portion of the bushing, which carries a second sealing member made of an elastomeric material. The sealing member is provided with two axially extending lips which axially and radially contact portions of the ring.
