ABSTRACT:
A seal assembly for sealing the area between a stationary member and a rotatable member includes first and second mating metal seal rings and first and second resilient load rings. The load rings are adapted to apply a load to the metal seal rings. Each load ring is cup-shaped and columnar in cross-sectional configuration and is adapted to flex toward the sealed area and prevent dirt from entering the sealed area and from eroding the load ring.
