Abstract:
1. A method of forming a seal assembly for sealing a space between first and second members, the first member having a central axis and an outer surface, and the second member having a radially-extending axial surface, the method comprising the steps of: providing an elongated elastomeric body and a biasing member, the elongated body having opposing ends and a generally V-shaped groove generally along a length of the body between the opposing ends; bending the elongated body circumferentially about the first member outer surface; coupling the opposing ends of the elongated body to form an annular seal body; and positioning the biasing member within the groove such that the biasing member exerts a radially-inwardly directed force on the annular seal body so as to substantially prevent relative angular displacement between the annular seal body and the first member.
