  • Insertion-removal monitor/control for seal carrier manufacture
    Patent number: 4817255
    Abstract: An apparatus and method for monitoring the relationship between the sidewalls of a carrier for a seal. A probe engages the sidewalls and responds to the frictional resistance to movement of the carrier with respect to the probe. If the frictional resistance is outside a preselected resistance, an indicator informs an operator of an out of tolerance condition needs to be corrected in order to manufacture a carrier with insertion and removal characteristics required to retain the seal on a projection surrounding a opening.
