<p>A radially-sealing ring has a sealing element of a non-elastomeric plastic, preferably of PTFE, planar, annular disk having plane-parallel surfaces held at its outer circumference in a stiffening ring and cold flexed in the axial direction to form a cuff at its inner circumference which engages the shaft with bias. The disk has a thickness of from 0.3 to 0.8 mm and an inside diameter approximately 1.5 to 7 times its thickness less than the diameter of the shaft. The distance between the shaft and the line about stiffening ring where the disk is held is 2 to 7 times as great as the thickness of the disk. The radially-sealing ring is preferably for sealing the crankshaft of a two-cycle engine.</p> |
