  • Patent number: 11131386
    Abstract: A seal includes a supporting ring and at least one sealing ring. The at least one sealing ring has a sheath. The at least one sealing ring and the supporting ring are interconnected. The supporting ring has an outer periphery and is, at least in part, surrounded on the outer periphery by the sheath of the at least one sealing ring in a radial direction. The at least one sealing ring has at least one dynamically loaded sealing lip, which is arranged on a side of the at least one sealing ring facing radially away from the sheath. The at least one sealing ring includes an electrically conductive polymer material. The sheath and the sealing lip transition into one another as one piece.

  • Patent number: 8672007
    Abstract: A sealing arrangement includes a stationary first machine part configured as an axle stub including at least one axial inflow hole adjoining with at least one opening that faces towards an outside surface of the axle stub in a radial direction of the axle stub. A second machine part configured as a container includes a hub rotatably surrounding the axle stub. The hub includes at least one opening that corresponds to the at least one opening of the axle stub in the radial direction so as to form one or more pairs of adjacent openings along an axial direction. A radial seal is disposed between each pair of adjacent openings.

  • Patent number: 8646782
    Abstract: A sealing arrangement, comprising a shaft (1) to be sealed, which is enclosed by a radial shaft seal (2), wherein the radial shaft seal (2) comprises two sealing lips (7, 8) for mutually sealing two spaces (5, 6) to be sealed and filled with a medium (3, 4) to be sealed, said sealing lips being disposed axially adjacent to each other at a distance from each other and delimiting a lubricant reservoir (18) with the shaft (1) to be sealed, wherein the first sealing lip (7) is axially curved in the direction of the first space (5) to be sealed in order to seal the first medium (3) to be sealed, and wherein the second sealing lip (8) is axially curved in the direction of the second space (6) to be sealed in order to seal the second medium (4) to be sealed, wherein both sealing lips (7, 8) each have at least one sealing rib (9, 10), which are delimited by mutually intersecting conical surfaces (11, 12; 13, 14), wherein on both sealing ribs (9, 10) the first conical surface (11, 13) facing the first space (5) to be

  • Patent number: 5642889
    Abstract: A sealing ring inserted into the radial space between two relatively movable cylindrical surfaces of a first and a second machine part. The cylindrical surfaces surround one another coaxially, and the sealing ring includes a first device for statically stationary fixing and sealing of the first machine part, as well as a second device for movable sealing of the second machine part. The first device is formed by a retaining ring made of a polymeric material pierced by at least one relief groove and engaging the first machine part, as well as an annular lip seal situated in front of the relief groove which is acted upon by the pressure of the medium to be sealed. The lip seal elastically deforms above a preselected minimum pressure differential and disengages from the first machine part.

  • Patent number: 5611548
    Abstract: A sealing arrangement includes a radial shaft seal and a sensor ring for inductively detecting angular motion relative to a sensor. The radial shaft seal has at least one dynamically stressed sealing lip of an elastomeric material that is affixed to a radially extending limb of an essentially L-shaped reinforcement ring. An axially extending limb of the reinforcement ring is joined to a statically stressed seal. The axial limb is surrounded at least radially on the outside by an extrusion coating of elastomeric material, the sensor ring having an axial projection that extends radially on the inner side and at least partially surrounding the extrusion coating with radial prestressing. The radial shaft seal and the sensor ring form one unit that is capable of being preassembled, so as to allow them to be separated from one another, as needed, without being damaged.

  • Patent number: 5271629
    Abstract: A radial shaft sealing ring has a filtering device which is disposed upstream of main seal. The filtering device comprises a sealing lip 3 which surrounds the shaft to be sealed with a cylindrical surface 5 spaced radially apart at a distance D, this gap being of a capillary narrowness. On the axial end facing chamber A to be sealed, the cylindrical surface 5 is bounded by a conical surface 10 which encloses a conical angle of 60 to 120 degrees.
