Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A radial shaft seal and assembly are provided. The seal has an annular mounting portion and a seal body bonded thereto. The seal body extends to a seal lip extending between an oil-side end and a free air-side end. An annular bridge extends between the seal lip and a central portion of the seal body in radially overlying relation to the seal lip. A primary dust lip extends from the air-side end and has an annular rib configured for sealed abutment with a running surface of a shaft. The annular rib has at least one vent. An auxiliary dust lip extends from the central portion of the seal body to a free end configured for sealed abutment with the shaft. The free end of the auxiliary dust lip has at least one vent spaced circumferentially from the at least one vent in the annular rib.
