In some examples, a shock absorption bracket includes one or more damping pads coupled to a facing surface of an absorption leg. The absorption leg is attached to a support leg and defines an internal corner with the support leg. The support leg is configured to attach to an equipment cabinet. The shock absorption bracket may be configured to define a gap between the damping pads and one or more support surfaces of the equipment cabinet. The shock absorption bracket may be configured to attach to a rear section of an equipment cabinet having an equipment access in a front section of the equipment cabinet.

A seal assembly is disclosed for sealing a higher pressure fluid cavity from a lower pressure fluid cavity. The seal assembly comprises a ceramic seal runner and a mounting assembly. The ceramic seal runner extends around an axial portion of a shaft. The mounting assembly is affixed to and carries the seal runner in axial and radial alignment with the shaft. The mounting assembly comprises an annular base member, a plurality of flexible members, and an annular sleeve member. The plurality of flexible members are circumferentially spaced about the base member and each extend radially outward from one end affixed to the base member in a direction opposite the direction of rotation of the shaft to a distal end. The annular sleeve member is positioned to engage the distal ends of the flexible members and a radially inner surface of the seal runner.

Mounting assembly for a ceramic seal runner

A seal assembly is disclosed for sealing a higher pressure fluid cavity from a lower pressure fluid cavity. The seal assembly comprises a mounting assembly, a circumferential ceramic runner carried by the mount assembly, and a carbon seal ring sealingly engaged to the runner. The runner comprises an axially-extending sealing portion and a radially-inward-extending step portion. The mounting assembly comprises a retaining member, a forward member, and a middle member. The step portion of the runner is axially retained between the retaining member and the middle member.
