Abstract

A seal assembly for a shaft and including an outer metallic band having an inner surface and an inner carbon ring having an outer surface engaged by the inner surface of the metal band. The inner surface of the outer metallic material band is caused to grip the inner carbon material ring so that relative shifting of the ring relative to the band is prevented.
