Abstract
The present disclosure describes a sealing apparatus for a robot and an articulated robot utilizing the sealing apparatus. In one embodiment, the sealing apparatus includes a first enclosure and a second enclosure. The second enclosure may be rotatably connected to the first enclosure such that the first enclosure and the second enclosure cooperatively define a gap between the first enclosure and the second enclosure. The sealing apparatus may further include a seal disposed in the gap such that the seal and the second enclosure cooperatively define a chamber. The sealing apparatus also includes an elastomer disposed in the chamber. The elastomer may be compressed by the seal and the second enclosure to generate an elastic force that presses the seal against the first enclosure.
