Abstract (en)

[origin: WO0113015A1] A seal assembly (10) having a Belleville spring completely encapsulated within a load ring (30) supporting a seal member provides a bias force to a resilient seal portion of the seal member (28) to assure positive contact with an opposed face of an adjacently disposed member (12, 14) of a joint assembly. The seal assembly (10) requires minimal counterbore depth in the member in which the seal assembly (10) is mounted, and no modifications are required in the Belleville spring (50) or in the base of the counterbore.
