Sliding ring seal Applicant: Federal-Mogul Burscheid GmbH. Germany A development of the duo-cone type of face seal that is used for applications such as earthmover wheel bearings is described. This design uses a single coned seal ring and is intended for higher speed applications such as pinion shafts where lip seals are currently often used because of the speed limitations of duo-cone seals. The other major difference is that the lubricating oil is exposed to the outer diameter of the seal. It is arranged in a cartridge unit with the hub components such that access for contaminant to the seal is restricted. Patent number: WO/2007/104272 Inventor: H-H.
