Abstract: A wiper-seal assembly for a cylinder with a cylinder wall and with a relative movable rod/piston rod with a piston wall is arranged for mounting in a ring-shaped groove in a cylinder wall or a rod/piston rod wall in front of a sealing or a steering. The wiper-seal assembly includes a ring-shaped wiper with one or more wiper sealing lip portions against the opposite relatively moving cylinder wall or the rod/piston rod wall. The wiper is further arranged for fluid transport from a gap between the cylinder wall and the rod/piston rod wall outside the ring shaped groove through pressure releasing flow conduits and further to the gap between the cylinder wall and the piston rod wall outside and at the opposite side of the ring shaped groove, and where the wiper-seal assembly further includes one or more filters.
