FIBER REINFORCED SEAL LIPS FOR INCREASED PRESSURE RESISTANCE

Abstract:

A radial lip seal includes a sealing lip body having a contact point defining an inner diameter of the radial lip seal, and a heelstock body defining an outer diameter and having a supporting section arranged radially inwardly relative to the outer diameter and extending along a boundary of the sealing lip body toward the contact point. The heelstock body is formed of a heelstock material that is flexible, and the heelstock material is stiffer relative to a material of the sealing lip body.
