Abstract: An energizing element including: an energizing element body oriented about a central axis, the energizing element body defining an inner radius, IR, and an outer radius, OR, where the difference between the outer radius and the inner radius defines an adjusted width, W, of the energizing element body, where the inner radius and the outer radius determine an average radius, R, of the energizing element body about the central axis, where the energizing element body defines an aspect ratio, W/R, where W/R>0.1, where the energizing element body has a maximum linear contact length on the inner radius, LIR, where the energizing element body has a perimeter on the inner radius, PIR, and LIR/PIR>0.80, where the energizing element body has a maximum linear contact length on the outer radius, LOR, where the energizing element body has a perimeter on the outer radius, POR, and LOR/POR>0.55, and where the adjusted width is less than 5 mm.

Abstract: A seal including: an annular jacket including an annular jacket including a body including a heel, a first lip, and a second lip defining an annular recess oriented down a central axis, where the first lip is substantially parallel to the central axis, where the second lip includes an angled portion adjacent to the heel and a planar portion adjacent to the angled portion, where the angled portion forms an angle, ?, with a line perpendicular to the central axis, where ? is between 30 and 90°, where the heel has an axial length, LH, where the first lip has an axial length, LFL, and where LH?3 LFL.
