Patent number: 10738891Abstract: A seal assembly for sealing the compartment between a rotating member and a fixed element. The seal assembly comprises a first ring fixed to the rotating member, a second ring fixed to the fixed element, and a seal element. The seal element is carried by the second ring and is connected to said second ring by means of a fitted portion; the seal element comprises at least one annular pad having an annular seal edge. The annular seal edge projects towards a coupling portion of the first ring and is adapted to cooperate with the coupling portion along a substantially linear area of contact. The seal element further comprises a spring portion adapted to exert an elastic force on the annular pad so as to push the annular seal edge towards the coupling portion.Type: GrantFiled: November 9, 2017Date of Patent: August 11, 2020Assignee: FREUDENBERG SEALING TECHNOLOGIES S.A.S. DI EXTERNA ITALIA S.R.L.U.Inventors: Luca Breusa, Maurizio Buro, Pasquale Angiulli, Massimo Barban

Patent number: 10240677Abstract: A gasket for sealing a compartment between rotating and fixed members. The gasket has a first ring; a second ring radially more external than the first ring; a first annular elastomeric element carried by the first ring and defining at least a first annular sealing lip cooperating with the second ring to counter the passage of external contaminants inside the compartment; a second annular elastomeric element carried by the second ring and defining at least a second annular sealing lip cooperating with the first ring to counter the passage of lubricant to the outside; a third ring coupled to the second ring and extending from this latter towards the axis of the gasket; and at least a third annular sealing lip, overhangingly projecting from the first elastomeric element and cooperating with the third ring to counter the passage of external contaminants from the outside towards the first sealing lip.Type: GrantFiled: April 6, 2016Date of Patent: March 26, 2019Assignee: FREUDENBERG SEALING TECHNOLOGIES S.A.S. DI EXTERNA ITALIA S.R.L.UInventors: Pasquale Angiulli, Luca Breusa, Massimo Barban, Stefano Miletto, Maurizio Buro, Andrea Berta

Patent number: 8672007Abstract: A sealing arrangement includes a stationary first machine part configured as an axle stub including at least one axial inflow hole adjoining with at least one opening that faces towards an outside surface of the axle stub in a radial direction of the axle stub. A second machine part configured as a container includes a hub rotatably surrounding the axle stub. The hub includes at least one opening that corresponds to the at least one opening of the axle stub in the radial direction so as to form one or more pairs of adjacent openings along an axial direction. A radial seal is disposed between each pair of adjacent openings.Type: GrantFiled: February 8, 2011Date of Patent: March 18, 2014Assignee: Carl Freudenberg KGInventors: Ulrich Dahlhaus-Preussler, Massimo Barban
