A process of making a seal ring uses an elastic ring having a sealing lip projecting laterally or inwardly about one, innermost edge. The elastic ring is turned inside out so that the one, sealing-lip edge is then outermost before or during fixedly sealing the sealing lip to a supporting ring, the sealing lip having a thin thickness profile effective in this for upsetting the sealing lip. Turning the lipped, elastic ring inside out also crimps a sealing surface of the lipped, elastic ring, which ring bends to engage a shaft axially with the sealing surface, such that lubricant pockets opening from the sealing surface only to the other, free edge of the lipped, elastic ring are uniformly distributed therein circumferentially about the sealing surface. The baffle or side and bottom surface portions of each lubricant pocket merge evenly with each other to form a single ground surface. The baffle surface portions of each lubricant pocket form an obtuse included angle with the adjacent portions of the sealing surface and the bottom surface portion of each lubricant pocket forms an obtuse included angle with the adjacent sealing surface, opening toward the other, free edge of the lipped, elastic ring. |
