ABSTRACT:
An assembly for sealing a rotating shaft and a bearing housing which has a stator, a rotor, and a unitizing element. The stator has at least two portions and an annular engagement flange extending in an axial direction having a groove on a radial side thereof. The rotor has at least two portions and an annular engagement flange extending in an axial direction having a groove on the radial side thereof. The annular unitizing element has at least two portions, a stator engaging member that engages the stator groove, a rotor engaging member that engages the rotor groove, and a rear member having a side edge that engages the stator. A radially outer surface of the unitizing element has two areas of differing diameter, one corresponding to the rotor engaging member and the other corresponding to the rear member.
