| Abstract:
A positive bearing housing seal is provided in which the stationary, and possibly a reducer having the same peripheral shaped of the stationary, is employed for installing and aligning the stationary and the rotary with respect to the shaft. A flat surface of the stationary is moved against a flat surface of the rotary until the flat surface of the stationary engages a machine wall or, if a reducer is used, a flat surface of the reducer. The shaft is then rotated to establish squareness. The stationary is then removed from the shaft, reversed in the axial direction, and reinstalled such that a flexible extension thereof, including a peripheral bead, is inserted into engagement with the inner surface of an annular opening in the machine wall or an annular opening in the reducer. |
