Seal for gap between drive shaft and axle component surrounding it comprises elastomeric ring with C-shaped cross-section, length of whose arms is one-and-a-half times width of gap

摘要

The seal for the gap between a rotating drive shaft (30) and an axle component (50) which surrounds it and communicates with the internal chamber of a differential comprises an elastomeric ring (70). This has a C-shaped cross-section and the length of its arms is one-and-a-half times the width of the gap.
