Abstract
A shaft seal ring has a support ring fixed to an annular machine element and a resilient lip ring engaging a co-axially rotatable shaft. Two intersecting conical surfaces form an innermost sealing edge on the lip ring. Channels extend from the sealing edge in one of the conical surfaces to a non-channeled portion thereof. Increasing pressure of a liquid sealed-in forces the channeled conical surface against the shaft to increase its sealing area correspondingly while the channels admit some of the liquid therebetween for lubrication.
