A 3D seal assembly is provided. The 3D seal assembly includes a rotational assembly and a stationary assembly for high misalignment operating environments. The rotational assembly includes a sleeve and a collar coupled together. The stationary assembly includes a housing with a recess on a radially inward side of the housing. A lip seal assembly, sized to fit within the recess, comprises at least one elastomeric seal element and spacer. At least one elastomeric seal element has a radially extending portion that engages the stationary assembly housing and an axially extending portion that engages with a running surface on the radially outer surface of the rotational assembly. A retention plate is coupled to the stationary assembly housing with a compression fastener. The assembly using compression fasteners allows for field disassembly and repair.
