Abstract
An improved seal/bearing arrangement employs an O-ring type seal which has segmented fingers. The seal ring has a recess which is sized to mate with a corresponding projecting lug of a bore use, for example, in brake actuator mechanisms. The seal ring can be made from synthetics such as polyamides and polyethylenes. The fingers are so arranged that locking of the seal rings in the bore occurs with insertion of a sliding, oscillating and/or rotating shaft or the like through the rings.
