  • Electrically conductive sealing assembly, and assembly having two machine elements sealed off with respect to one another
    Patent number: 11493133
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a sealing assembly for sealing a space between a first machine element and a second machine element that is movable in relation to the first machine element. The first and second machine elements are arranged concentrically to each other. According to the invention, the sealing assembly is characterized in that it further comprises a conductive element that is used to establish an electrically conductive connection between the first and the second machine elements extending from the first machine element to the second machine element, and is mechanically connected at least in sections to the side of the seal facing away from the space to be sealed. The conductive element consists of an electrically conductive fiber fabric embedded in an elastomer matrix.
