A turbine shroud assembly adapted for use with a gas turbine engine includes a carrier, a seal segment, and a mount assembly. The carrier is configured to be coupled to a turbine case. The seal segment is shaped to define a gas path boundary of the shroud assembly. The mounting assembly is configured to couple the seal segment to the carrier.

A combination of seals and wear guides for use in a hydraulic cylinder provides a sealed engagement between a piston rod of the hydraulic cylinder and an inner circumferential surface of a rod end of a cylinder barrel of the hydraulic cylinder through which the piston rod is axially movable. The combination includes a cylindrical metallic wear guide for seating within a first annular groove formed around the inner circumferential surface, a buffer seal assembly including an annular buffer seal cooperatively mated with an annular backup ring for seating within a second annular groove, a U-cup seal for seating within a third annular groove, a cylindrical plastic wear guide for seating within a fourth annular groove, and a triple lip wiper seal including three ringed lip portions for seating within a fifth annular groove.

An object is to provide a backup ring manufacturable with an angle of a cut portion set to a standard cut angle even in the case of a product having a small diameter etc. due to dimensional limitation of a device used therewith, and is solved by a sealing device characterized in that a backup ring 1 is disposed in an annular gap 4 formed by disposing a sloped surface 20 on a member surface of one of two members, i.e., a shaft 2 and a housing 3 having a shaft hole in which the shaft 2 is inserted, with a distance from a counterpart member gradually reduced from a high pressure side toward a low pressure side, that the backup ring 1 is in contract with the sloped surface 20 on the low pressure side relative to a mounted seal member 5 made of an annular elastic member, that the backup ring 1 has an axially extending cylindrical portion 10 and a projecting portion 11 continuously disposed on an end portion of the cylindrical portion 10 on the high pressure side and formed to annularly project in a radial direction from the end portion toward the sloped surface 20, and that the projecting portion 11 has a radial tip surface made up of a taper surface 12 facing the sloped surface 20.

O-ring/back-up ring systems that are suitable for use in high pressure applications, including those of 70 MPa automotive hydrogen storage applications, to form a seal between first and second connector bodies. Such sealing systems comprise a back-up ring having a base portion and a flange portion, wherein such ring is configured to prevent extrusion of an O-ring into a gap existing between the back-up ring and a groove into which the back-up ring and O-ring are disposed. High pressure gas storage systems comprising such sealing systems, and methods of sealing a connection in a high pressure hydrogen storage system using such sealing systems.

A sealing structure and a sealing device that maintain sealing properties even when there is shaft eccentricity and maintain the sealing properties over a long time even in an environment where there is cyclic variation in fluid pressure. The sealing device 100 includes an O-ring 10 and a back-up ring 20. The back-up ring 20 includes a body part 21, and an annular protruding portion 23 protruding toward a sealed fluid side (A) on a radially outer side of the body part 21. An inner circumferential surface of the body part 21 has a second tapered surface 22 capable of sliding on a first tapered surface 211 formed at the bottom of an annular groove 210, the second tapered surface 22 being capable of sliding within a range of the first tapered surface 211.

A seal assembly for a hydraulic cylinder piston rod includes an annular buffer seal and an annular backup ring. The outer annular seal surface can be spaced farther from the first axial pressure side of the annular buffer seal than the radially inner annular seal surface of the buffer seal such that an annular notch is formed around an inner diameter of the annular buffer seal on the second axial seal side of the annular buffer seal. The annular backup ring can include a radially extending leg portion extending along substantially an entire radial extent of the radially outer annular seal surface of the annular buffer seal, and an axially extending leg portion extending axially into the annular notch formed around the inner diameter of the annular buffer seal on the second axial seal side of the annular buffer seal.
