Abstract
A seal body includes a flange that supports a lip configured to make sliding contact with a fixed surface. The flange includes a groove for receiving a garter spring on one face, and inwardly and outwardly facing conical surfaces on the opposite surface, the conical surfaces defining a lip where they meet. The ratio of the thickness of the portion of the lip located to one side of a plane that includes an edge of the groove to the thickness of the portion of the lip on the other side of the plane is about 44%.
