  • Publication number: 20040173973
    Abstract: A sealing ring comprising a sealing sleeve that is made of a polymeric material and is essentially L-shaped. A fastening region extends essentially in a radial direction and a sealing region extends essentially in an axial direction. The sealing region surrounds, in sealing manner, a surface of a machine element to be sealed by exerting radial tension. The sealing region has, on the side facing the surface, at least one back-feeding device for conveying a medium to be sealed in the direction of the space to be sealed off. The back-feeding device has a profile with a volumetric delivery that decreases from the space to be sealed off in the direction of the surroundings.

  • Publication number: 20040056427
    Abstract: A lip seal for sealing the gap between a housing and a shaft, a seal having a supporting body and static and dynamic sealing elements attached to the supporting body, the sealing elements being made of different materials and the supporting body having an annular part oriented radially to the shaft and a cylindrical part running axially to the shaft. The dynamic sealing element (7) is fastened to the radial annular part (31) of the supporting body and encloses the annular part (31) on both sides at the fastening point (32). The static sealing element (6) is positioned on the axial cylindrical part (33) of the supporting body (5) at a radial distance (8) from the dynamic sealing element (7).

  • Publication number: 20030209860
    Abstract: A sealing ring for sealing a shaft relative to an interior space. The sealing ring includes a supporting ring and a sealing disc attached to the supporting ring. The sealing disc includes a projection conically deformed in an axial direction of the shaft and has a first section in contact with the shaft. The first section includes a helical groove configured to allow return of a medium toward the interior space and a web separating adjacent turns of the helical groove. The groove has a trapezoidal cross section and/or a cross section larger than a cross section of the web.

  • Patent number: 5441683
    Abstract: A process for producing a brush for an electric motor having predetermined final dimensions and including a wearing block and a connecting braid. The brush is produced by preparing at least one mixture including a conductive graphite powder in the form of solid particles of a mean thickness less than 25 .mu.m and a mean shape factor greater than 5, encased with a distillation binder. The mixture is molded together with the connecting braid in a mold to form a crude brush of the final dimensions and the crude brush is baked.
