ABSTRACT:
In a planetary gear type reduction drive unit having a sleeve shiftable between an extended torque transmitting position wherein both ends are supported and centered on an axis of rotation and a retracted non-torque transmitting position wherein one end is substantially unsupported and susceptible to unbalance oscillation when reverse torque is applied to the planetary gear set, an improved seal arrangement including a flexible lip seal which seals between a stationary portion of the unit and the sleeve in the extended and retracted positions of the latter and a pilot bearing adjacent the seal and engageable on the unsupported end of the sleeve in the retracted position of the latter to control runout and avoid oscillatory deflection of the lip seal.
