Abstract: An integrated seal member includes an at least partially annular body defining a longitudinal axis, a radial direction, and a circumferential direction. The at least partially annular body includes a mounting portion, a sealing portion including at least one top sealing feature and at least one bottom sealing feature, and an apertured connecting portion that extends radially outwardly from the mounting portion to the sealing portion.

Abstract: A sealing member for a machine may include an elastomeric body configured to fit at least partially into a recess defined in at least one of two sealing surfaces of two mating parts of the machine. The elastomeric body may include a visible indicator portion extending out from between the two mating parts. The elastomeric body may further include an elastomeric compound, and at least one of a thermochromic dye and a piezochromic dye mixed into the elastomeric compound, wherein the thermochromic dye is adapted to change color upon exposure of the elastomeric body to a temperature above a threshold temperature, and the piezochromic dye is adapted to change color upon exposure of the elastomeric body to a pressure above a threshold pressure.
