  • Power transmitting component with multi-part housing assembly having continuous sealing flange
    Patent number: 8857293
    Abstract: A housing assembly for a power transmitting component that includes first and second housing structures, which define a cavity and a shaft bore, and a gasket. The first housing structure includes a pair of first end walls, a first seal flange, and a pair of saddles. The first seal flange extends about the cavity. The saddles are arch-shaped and coupled to the first end walls. The shaft bore is formed through the first end walls and the saddles. The second housing structure includes a pair of second end walls, and a second seal flange. The second seal flange extends about the cavity and is configured to abut the first seal flange. The second end walls define saddle recesses into which the saddles are received.
