  • Patent number: 9869394
    Abstract: A sealing system for sealing shafts against liquid media, for example propeller shafts, impeller shafts, rudder stocks of ships and the like. Opposing corner regions of the sealing system that are located radially inside of a clamping space, for clamping at least one sealing ring, are formed by inclined run-on surfaces that diverge when viewed radially from the inside towards the outside. For accommodation in the clamping space, a clamping section of the sealing ring comprises two opposite edge regions that are formed by inclined surfaces that correspond to the run-on surfaces.

  • Patent number: 9447883
    Abstract: A seal for sealing around a shaft includes a radially outer clamp-in element to be clamped into a housing, an intermediate membrane part extending radially inwardly (toward the shaft) at an angle from the clamp-in element, and an angled base part at a radially inner end of the intermediate membrane part. A spring is received in a receiving groove that forms a spring pocket in the base part, and the spring exerts a contact pressure of a seal lip of the base part against the shaft. In a pressureless state without a pressure differential across the seal, the spring pocket has a width larger than the sectional diameter of the spring and thus forms a free play space for the spring in the pocket.

  • Patent number: 8616840
    Abstract: A sealing arrangement is provided, including a sealing ring for sealing two machine elements from one another, the sealing ring being conFIGUREd in an installation space for the second machine element that is open toward the first machine element to be sealed, and sealingly contacting the surface to be sealed of the first machine element, by way of at least one dynamically loaded first sealing lip. The sealing ring is arranged under elastic axial and radial preloading within the installation space.

  • Publication number: 20130307222
    Abstract: In a seal (1) of shafts (7) relative to a medium, being received in housing-fixed support rings (4, 5), it is provided that in an embodiment of the seal with a clamp-in element (3) and an angled element with a seal lip (2) arranged via an intermediate part (6) whereby a contact pressure is applied via a spring (10). For this it is provided that the spring (10) is embodied in a receiving groove (11) as a spring pocket with a free space (12) for the spring in the pressureless state. A nose (13) as a retaining element for the inserted spring is arranged on the membrane as an intermediate part (6) above the spring pocket (11). The membrane is adjustable upon changing a tilt angle (?) by pressure loading up to reaching a limit pressure for contacting on an allocated housing wall (16) such as an extended support ring (5). Thereby an enlarged bottom side contact angle (?) is established in the angled region with the seal lip (2).
