  • Seal assembly and method for monitoring a seal assembly
    Patent number: 11703127
    Abstract: A seal assembly includes: a seal element; a part to be sealed; and a measuring arrangement for monitoring an aging of the seal element. The seal element is held on the part so as to provide a contact stress between the seal element and the part. The seal element has a contact face with which the seal element bears against the part. At least one measuring component of the measuring arrangement is integrated in each case into the seal element and into the part. The contact face of the seal element has a surface geometry with depressions.

  • Sensor element with fastening segment
    Patent number: 11262261
    Abstract: A sensor element includes: a supporting body; and a sensor body, the sensor body being planar in shape, being made of an elastic material, and having a first surface and a second surface coated so as to be electrically conductive. The sensor body includes a measuring segment and a fastening segment. A layer thickness of the fastening segment is greater than a layer thickness of the measuring segment.
