MAIN SEAL ASSEMBLY

Abstract:

Technologies are described herein for a seal assembly for an engine, the seal having a circular carbon graphite mating surface and a circular carrier mating surface. A planar face of the circular carrier mating surface includes a circular bevel, which may be configured to receive a removable ringed insert. When inserted into the circular bevel, the ringed insert mates with a planar face of the circular carbon graphite mating surface. The carbon graphite mating surface, the circular carrier mating surface, and the circular of the carrier mating surface are aligned to have a common central axis along an engine shaft.
