Abstract: A sealing arrangement includes a housing including a bore and a shaft extending through the bore in the housing. An inner annular sealing member includes an inner surface press fit on the shaft and having a plurality of radially outwardly projecting fins on an outer surface. An outer annular sealing member is press fit in the bore and includes a first end supporting a seal lip that sealingly engages an outer surface of the inner annular sealing member. The outer annular sealing member includes a second end that is disposed directly radially outward of and spaced from the radially outwardly projecting fins of the inner annular sealing member. When the shaft rotates, the radially outwardly projecting fins pro-actively/dynamically move air, contamination, particles, fluids etc. axially away from the sealing area.

Abstract: The static seal (30) includes a rotary seal body (32) comprising an annular base portion (34) which is drivingly mountable on a rotary component such as a shaft and an annular cantilever portion (40) connected at one end to the base portion (34). The seal (30) 5 further includes a rotary seal face (48) and circumferential weights (44) connected to the cantilever portion (40). The seal is configured to dilate under centrifugal force to provide a running clearance between the rotary seal face and a complementary static seal face with which the rotary seal face is in contact when the rotary seal body (28) is stationary. The rotary seal body is further configured so as to facilitate the breaking up of slurry which may set around the seal when the pump (10) of which the seal forms part is inoperative.
