  • Publication number: 20120163904
    Abstract: A pin joint assembly for a machine includes a seal assembly having first and second seal rings and first and second gaskets or toric load rings. The first and second seal rings each have a loading surface and a sealing face. The first and second seal rings abut one another such that the sealing faces are in contacting relationship with each other. The first load ring engages a load ring engagement surface of a collar and the loading surface of the first seal ring. The second load ring engages a load ring engagement surface of a bushing and the loading surface of the second seal ring. At least one of the load ring engagement surface of the collar and the loading surface of the first seal ring is adapted to retain the first load ring in proximal relationship to the sealing face of the first seal ring.

  • Publication number: 20120155953
    Abstract: A seal ring stabilization system disclosed herein includes first and second seal rings, each including a substantially planar surface and a substantially non-planar surface opposite the substantially planar surface. The substantially planar surface of the first seal ring and the substantially planar surface of the second seal ring engage one another. The first seal ring includes a protrusion extending from the substantially planar surface of the first seal ring and away from the substantially non-planar surface of the first seal ring, while the second seal ring defines a recess extending from the substantially planar surface of the first seal ring and toward the substantially non-planar surface of the second seal ring. The recess of the second seal ring receives the protrusion of the first seal ring.
