SEAL RING

摘要

It is an object of the present invention to provide a seal ring which has small oil leak and low torque generation performance for improving fuel consumption in a favorable balance as originally intended by the present invention. A seal ring (1) is mounted on an annular groove formed on one member consisting of either a housing having a shaft hole or a rotary shaft inserted into the shaft hole, contacts a surface of other member consisting of either the housing or the rotary shaft, and slidably contacts a side wall surface of the annular groove at a non-sealed fluid side thereof. V-shaped concave portions (3) which do not contact the side wall surface of the annular groove are formed on at least one portion of an end of an inner diameter side of a side surface (2) of the seal ring (1).

主权项

1. A seal ring which is mounted on an annular groove formed on one member consisting of either a housing having a shaft hole or a rotary shaft inserted into said shaft hole, contacts a surface of other member consisting of either said housing or said rotary shaft, and slidably contacts a side wall surface of said annular groove at a non-sealed fluid side thereof, thereby sealing an annular gap between said one member and said other member,
wherein V-shaped concave portions along a circumferential direction of said seal ring are formed on at least one portion of an end of an inner diameter side of a side surface of said seal ring serving as a sliding contact surface which contacts said side wall surface of said annular groove, wherein said concave portions do not contact said side wall surface of said annular groove.
