Abstract

A seal ring that is high in wear resistance and sealability, and less likely to damage an aluminum alloy mating member, and particularly a seal ring having an outer diameter of 20 mm or under and formed with a slit which can be opened easily to be fitted on a shaft. The seal ring is made from a lubricating resin composition containing 50-90 vol % of an aromatic polyether ketone resin, 5-30 vol % of an aromatic polyamide fiber, and 2-30 vol % of tetrafluoroethylene resin. The composition may further contain 2-20 vol % of mica or talc, or 2-30 vol % of a whisker having a Mohs hardness of 3 or over. The seal ring is formed with a slit and has an an outer diameter of 20 mm or under with a bending strain (under ASTM D790) of 3% or over.
