1. A load ring for a seal assembly configured to seal a joint having a first member pivotable about a rotational axis relative to a second member thereof, the seal assembly including a seal ring having an axial flange extending along the rotational axis and a radial flange extending along a radial axis perpendicular to the rotational axis, the first member including a load ring engagement surface defining, at least in part, an axially-extending seal cavity about the rotational axis, the load ring comprising:
a main body, the main body being annular and including a seal ring engagement surface and a first member engagement surface:
the seal ring engagement surface including an axial segment and a radial segment adapted to engage the axial flange and the radial flange of the seal ring, respectively, andthe first member engagement surface adapted to engage the load ring engagement surface of the first member, the first member engagement surface including an axial segment and a radial segment, the radial segment of the first member engagement surface being in distal relationship with the radial segment of the seal ring engagement surface; and a neck, the neck extending from the main body and disposed between the axial segment of the first member engagement surface and the radial segment of the seal ring engagement surface, the neck having a neck perimeter with a first sealing blade disposed along the neck perimeter and comprising an outwardly-extending projection, the first sealing blade adapted to sealingly engage one of the seal ring and the first member. |
