| Abstract: | A seal assembly for sealing a machine with a first chamber and a second
chamber is provided. A rotating shaft extends through the first and
second chambers, and rotates therein. The seal assembly has a seal
housing, a seal ring and a seal pin. The seal housing is positionable in
the machine housing. The seal housing has a seal pocket extending into a
fluid side thereof, and a housing receptacle extending into an inner
diameter thereof at the seal pocket. The seal ring is positionable in the
seal pocket of the seal housing for forming a seal therewith. The seal
ring has a ring receptacle extending into an outer diameter thereof. The
ring receptacle is positionable adjacent to the housing receptacle for
defining a pin hole therebetween. The seal pin is loosely positionable in
the pin hole whereby movement about the seal ring is accommodated while
preventing rotation thereof. |
