The supporting body and the sensor body are integrally formed.

Abstract: A seal arrangement for sealing a gap between a machine element comprising a shaft and a housing includes: at least one sealing element formed, at least partially, from polymeric material. The at least one sealing element is of annular design and is made of PTFE. The at least one sealing element has at least one first annular element and at least one second annular element. The at least one first element is electrically conductive and the at least one second element is electrically insulating. The at least one first element is arranged axially adjacently to the at least one second element. The at least one sealing element is provided with electrically conductive contact elements. The housing has an installation space forming an annular groove for the at least one sealing element. The installation space is provided with a lining forming an insulation.

Abstract: A sealing ring includes: a lip ring, with at least one sealing lip; and a supporting ring. The lip ring and the supporting ring are connected to one another. The lip ring and the supporting ring each are formed from an elastomeric material. A modulus of elasticity of the lip ring is smaller than a modulus of elasticity of the supporting ring.

Abstract: A filter cartridge for cleaning an air flow includes a base, a cover provided with a central recess, and at least one pleated filter element arranged between the cover and the base. The at least one filter element encloses an interior space. The cover has a venturi nozzle, and the venturi nozzle engages in the pleated filter element. The venturi nozzle is spread out in comb-like fashion in the region of its end engaging in the filter element.

Abstract: A sealing arrangement for sealing a gap between a machine element and a housing includes: at least one sealing element; and an insulation which electrically insulates the at least one sealing element from the machine element and the housing. The at least one sealing element is at least partially electrically conductive.

Abstract: An actuable shaft assembly for a spray mop assembly includes first and second hollow elongated outer shaft segments in which first and second elongated actuating rod segments are telescopingly disposed, respectively. The first and second outer shaft segments include respective first and second shaft retaining elements extending into their hollow interiors. The first and second rod segments include respective first and second rod retaining elements extending radially outward from their outer peripheral surfaces. The rod retaining elements and shaft retaining elements are sized and disposed to limit telescoping movement of the associated rod segments outward from the shaft segment ends.

Abstract: A sealing ring includes: a supporting element; and a lip seal having at least one first and one second lip seal section having sealing materials differing from one another. The first lip seal section at one end is connected to the supporting element, and at an other end has a free end on which the second lip seal section is arranged. The second lip seal section includes an elastomeric sealing material.

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.

Abstract: A beveled broom and step-on dustpan cleaning system including a step-on dustpan having a step-on portion configured to allow a user to collect debris in a receptacle of the dustpan when a force is applied on the step-on portion. The dustpan includes a lip portion which is configured to seal against a floor surface upon a user stepping on the step-on portion to collect debris. A beveled broom having a broom head configured with a beveled or chamfered shape at a functional angle to provide an effective and efficient contact surface to a floor surface to collect debris during use.

Abstract: A bearing bush includes at least one sealing element and one bearing element. The sealing element is provided with at least one sealing lip. The bearing element is substantially tubular. The bearing element includes a plurality of protrusions extending in the axial direction on the outer circumference. The inner diameter of the bearing element is larger in the sections corresponding to the protrusions than in the remaining sections.

Abstract: Sealing element for producing an electrically conductive connection between a first machine element and a second machine element, including at least one sealing disc and a support ring, the support ring comprising an axial flange and a radial flange, the sealing disc being formed from an electrically conductive non-woven fabric, and the sealing disc being secured at least in sections along the axial flange by means of a clamping connection between the support ring and the second machine element.

Abstract: A filter for cleaning air includes: a housing; layers of a filter medium, the layers being arranged in the housing; and separator plates. One separator plate is arranged between each two layers of the filter medium. The separator plates are provided with a perforation. In an embodiment, the separator plates are fluted, corrugated, or folded.

Abstract: A filter element includes: a frame having a peripheral elastomer body in which a reinforcement element is embedded; and a filter pocket. The frame is connected to an opening in the filter pocket with a connection established integrally by the elastomer body. In an embodiment, the elastomer body is molded on the filter pocket.
