摘要 |
A hydraulic shaft seal (10) has a first elastomeric part (40) and a second elastomeric part (42). The first elastomeric part (40) has a surface (54) for sealingly engaging the peripheral surface (56) of a shaft (14), and is formed of a vulcanizable elastomeric composition which includes a first fluorinated rubber. The second elastomeric part (42) supports the first elastomeric part (40) in a sealing position, and is formed of a vulcanizable elastomeric composition which includes a second fluorinated rubber but is essentially free of the first fluorinated rubber. The first elastomeric part (40) is co-vulcanized with the second elastomeric part (42) and is bonded to the second elastomeric part (42) by cross-linking between the two elastomeric parts as a result of the co-vulcanization thereof.
