Abstract: A shaft sealing device has a body containing a spherical portion of a sealing element which also has a tubular portion extending outside the body. The shaft extends through both portions of the sealing element. A pair of annular wiper seals is located within the body and bear against the spherical portion of the sealing element. The wiper seals are separated by a cylindrical spacer. A thrust washer urges the wiper seals into contact with the spherical portion of the sealing element. A further sealing element surrounds the shaft outside the body and is partly engaged in a recess in the tubular portion of the sealing element. The sealing element has a curved outer surface and is urged into sealing contact with the recess in the tubular portion of the sealing element by means of a clamp nut screwed onto the outside of the tubular portion of the sealing element.
