An assembly ( 100 ) is disclosed for sealing the sliding interface ( 101 ) between two objects capable ( 102, 104 ) of sliding or moving with respect to one another, but where the sliding interface must provide a substantial seal against pressure loss therethrough, such as where an assembly seals the sliding interface between a piston ( 102 ) and a cylinder ( 104 ) or between a rod and a bushing. Although some features of this invention would be beneficial in applications using a liquid lubricant, the invention is particularly beneficial in applications not using a liquid lubricant, where the materials of the piston, cylinder, and sealing system are chosen additionally for their ability to provide self - lubrication as they slide over each other, while providing low friction and a low wear rate during sliding. |
