Abstract

A device for attaching a seal to a shaft wherein the seal is mounted on a hoop which, in turn, is mounted on the end of a shaft. A second, resilient hoop member is interposed between the seal and a flange on the shaft to exert a compressive force on the seal. A split ring member engages circumferential grooves formed on the shaft and the first hoop member to prevent relative axial movement. A pin attached to the hoop member engages a notch on the split ring member to prevent any relative circumferential motion between these elements.
