  • Publication number: 20230272858
    Abstract: A sealing structure is provided to suppress the generation of a space between an inner peripheral surface of a shaft hole and an outer peripheral surface of a seal ring. The sealing structure is a sealing device to seal an annular space between a shaft and a shaft hole into which the shaft is inserted. The sealing structure includes an annular seal ring around an axis line x attached to a groove of the shaft, and a locked portion formed on a bottom surface of the groove of the shaft. The seal ring has a locking portion formed on an inner peripheral surface. The locking portion and the locked portion are formed so as to be lockable with each other and formed such that the seal ring is pressed toward an outer periphery side when the locking portion and the locked portion are locked with each other.
