The floating seal goes by a several different names, including duo-cone seal, dual-cone seal, toric ring, mechanical face seal, or main seal. The assembly of a floating face seal is made up of two matching halves. Each half has a seal ring and toric elastomeric ring, which acts as a secondary sealing element. One face of the seal ring has been precision ground/lapped to mate with the matching face on the opposite seal ring. The elastomeric ring forces the two seals halves together, thus providing the seal.
