  • SEAL, ASSEMBLY, AND METHODS OF USING THE SAME
    Publication number: 20190170254
    Abstract: A seal including a first annular body having an inner radius and an outer radius, and a first circumferential end and a second circumferential end defining a first split along the circumference of the first annular body; and a second annular body having an inner radius and an outer radius, and a first circumferential end and a second circumferential end defining a first split along the circumference of the second annular body, where the circumferential split of the first annular body is offset from the circumferential split of the second annular body at an arc distance defined by a central angle C, wherein the central angle C is no less than 15°, or where the second annular body is adapted to force the first split of the first annular body to close around a fluid component.

  • System, Method and Apparatus for Lip Seal Assembly
    Publication number: 20140284883
    Abstract: A seal assembly includes a lip seal having an axis, a central opening and a radial extension extending radially inward. The radial extension may be adapted to apply a sealing force against a shaft extending through the central opening by bending. The radial extension may extend at least partially along an axial direction. A support member that is resilient may be positioned adjacent the radial extension such that the support member limits bending of the radial extension.
