Abstract

A reciprocating seal used, for example, for a shock absorber. A main seal lip has a two-step lip structure including a first lip and a second lip and a plurality of protrusions extending in the direction of the shaft are formed on a sliding contact surface of the second lip, thereby improving frictional force characteristics and, at the same time, improving sealing performance.
