A seed meter is provided for use with a row crop planter or seed planter that includes a seed disk assembly that rotates within a meter housing cavity and that has a seed disk assembly cavity in which a vacuum pressure is applied for pulling seeds into seed pockets of a seed disk of the seed disk assembly. The vacuum pressure is applied to the seed disk assembly by pulling a vacuum airflow through a collector of a spindle-mounted hub support that is fluidly connected through a face seal arrangement with a hub face of the seed disk assembly.
