SEAL RING WITH FRICTIONAL LOAD SURFACE

摘要

A seal ring is disclosed. The seal ring can have one or more exterior surfaces extending between a first outer axial end of the seal ring to a seal flange. The seal flange can be positioned adjacent to a second outer axial end of the seal ring and can extend radially outward to an outer diameter of the seal ring. An outer surface of the seal flange can form an annular sealing band. A seal ramp can extend outwardly from a first end proximate to the first outer axial end of the seal ring to a second end positioned adjacent to the seal flange. The seal ramp can include a first surface configured to form a frictional, sealing contact interface between the first surface and an elastomeric seal compressed into contact with the first surface when the elastomeric seal is in a loaded state.

1. A seal ring, comprising:
one or more exterior surfaces extending between a first outer axial end of the seal ring to a seal flange, the seal flange positioned adjacent to a second outer axial end of the seal ring and extending radially outward from the one or more exterior surfaces to an outer diameter of the seal ring; an outer surface of the seal flange forming an annular sealing band, the annular sealing band extending radially along the second outer axial end of the seal ring and positioned adjacent to the outer diameter of the seal ring; an inclined seal ramp formed by one or more of the one or more exterior surfaces of the seal ring, the seal ramp extending outwardly from a first end of the seal ramp proximate to the first outer axial end of the seal ring to a second end of the seal ramp positioned adjacent to the seal flange; and the seal ramp including a first surface positioned adjacent to the first end of the seal ramp, the first surface configured to form a frictional, sealing contact interface between the first surface and an elastomeric seal compressed into contact with the inclined seal ramp when the elastomeric seal is in a loaded state.
