Abstract: To reduce leakage of pressure medium in a seal arrangement (1) comprising two sealing elements (8) that are pressed by a sealing medium against the piston rod (3) and against a wall (11) of a recess (10), it is provided that the radially interiorly disposed circumferential surface (24) constitutes at least one of the sealing elements (8) from a sealing surface (12) and a tributary area (23), a second end face (21) that faces away from the axial end (11) of the recess (10) connecting to the sealing surface (12), and a rigid cover ring (9) being provided that is positioned at least in part radially against the radially exterior circumferential surface (25) of the sealing element (8) and at least in part axially against the second end face (21) of the sealing element (8).
