Seal assembly, particularly for liquid pumps

摘要

A seal assembly for a rotary machine comprises a rotary machine part of a hard rubber-like elastomer and a sheet metal hub surrounded by the rotary machine part and being permanently bonded thereto. The sheet metal hub is generally sleeve-shaped and has a radial base situated within the rotary machine part and a generally cylindrical wall extending substantially along the entire axial length of the rotary machine part in a coaxial relationship therewith. The seal assembly further has a counter ring in contact with the rotary machine part and a slide ring seal unit being in sliding contact with the counter ring.
