Abstract
An axle driving apparatus having a shaft sealing device to provide for compact and flexible packaging. The shaft sealing device includes an oil seal and a seal carrier for supporting the oil seal. The shaft sealing device can be used to provide a reliable fluid-tight seal for the axles and other shafts, thereby allowing the axles and other shafts to be located in different planes, and offset from the plane of the casing junction surface. The shaft sealing device may alternatively be configured as an integral unit that includes a shaft support.
