  • Patent number: 6702295
    Abstract: A dynamic seal assembly has an outer carrier member formed of one-piece having an outer flange, an inner flange, and an intermediate portion presenting first and second shoulders. A PTFE seal member is disposed about the second shoulder and is compressed axially by a case member which, while the PTFE seal is compressed, is staked to the carrier to secure the seal. The carrier has an axially outwardly facing annular pocket accommodating a foam dust excluder into which a flange of a wear sleeve extends to protect the PTFE seal from debris. Additionally, the seal has a clamping ring having an axially extending first leg providing a second mating surface radially inwardly and generally parallel to the first mating surface of the outer member.
