SEAL ASSEMBLY INCLUDING A NOTCHED SEAL ELEMENT FOR ARRANGING BETWEEN A STATOR AND A ROTOR

摘要

A seal assembly with an axis is provided that includes a rotor and a seal element that is connected to a stator with an anti-rotation element. The seal element includes a first element surface, a second element surface and an annular notch. The first element surface axially engages the stator. The second element surface radially engages the rotor. The notch extends into the seal element between the first and the second element surfaces. The stator radially overlaps a portion of the notch.
