Abstract
A universal gland defining a central opening for mounting the gland coaxially about a machine shaft to the machine housing, the mounting done with a plurality of bolts at bolt hole positions in the housing. A gland body includes a mounting surface for placement adjacent the housing, and facing away from the mounting surface at least one tab-engaging surface is engaged by tabs for transferring forces from the bolts to the machine via the gland body. Bolt-mounting tabs are configured to extend radially beyond the periphery of the gland body a distance at least to the bolt hole positions of the machine. The tabs are angularly adjustable about the gland body.
