Abstract
A radial shaft seal ring has a lip ring for sealing to a shaft for rotation therewith. A U-shaped recess extends around the lip ring. An extension portion of a reinforcing ring which delimits a space on one side thereof to be sealed contacts the U-shaped recess without pressure or connection for low wear relative rotation therein. Preferably, the shoulder of the lip ring defining the side of the U-shaped recess on the sealed-space side of the reinforcing ring has a greater outside diameter than that on the other side to centrifugally aid the seal. More preferably, the latter is done by angling the U-shaped channel to the sealed side to also accommodate axial vibration of the shaft and lip ring.
