Patent ID: 8794862

Claim:
An assembly comprising: first and second members spaced apart along an axis so as to define an axial space, the first member having a generally radial surface and the second member having an outer circumferential surface and a radial end surface extending radially to the outer circumferential surface, the second member being one of coupled with the first member and disposed about a third member coupled with the first member; a seal for sealing the axial space and including a generally annular seal body having inner and outer circumferential surfaces, opposing first and second axial ends, a radial sealing surface proximal to the first axial end and configured to sealingly engage with the first member radial surface, and a circumferential sealing surface proximal to the second axial end and configured to sealingly engage with the second member outer surface such that the seal body encloses the second member radial end surface, at least a portion of the seal body extending circumferentially about and enclosing the axial space, the seal body being configured to be non-contactable with the enclosed second member radial end surface; and at least one generally annular shim disposed within the axial space between the first and second members; wherein the seal body inner surface includes axially spaced first and second inner surface sections, the first inner surface section being located adjacent to the first axial end and defining a shim cavity for receiving the at least one shim and the second inner section being adjacent to the second axial end and including the circumferential sealing surface, the seal shim cavity being sized to receive a plurality of the shims and configured to receive a first number of shims such that the seal body inner surface overlaps a first portion of the second member outer surface and to alternatively receive a second number of shims such that the body inner surface overlaps a second portion of the second member outer surface, the first number of shims being greater than the second number of shims such that the second outer surface portion is greater than the first outer surface portion.
