ABSTRACT:
A cartridge seal stack utilizes a plurality of rotary cartridge seals each including a cold flowable plastic ring having a body for sealably engaging a housing bore and a lip for sealably engaging a shaft rotating within the housing bore. A spring is provided and disposed between the body and the lip for biasing the lip against the shaft and a separable metal retainer is provided for fixing the plastic ring within the housing bore and around the shaft. The separable metal retainer includes a surface of revolution with a rear portion having a radius suitable for press fitting into the housing bore and a front portion of lesser radius ending the ring. An internal groove is provided in the body of the plastic ring for engaging the ring in order to latch the plastic ring and metal retainer together. A spring portion connecting the retainer rear portion and the ring is provided for controlling residual stress in a radial direction within the plastic ring and preventing shrinkage of the plastic ring toward the shaft.
