Abstract: A piston rod seal includes a sealing disk provided with a reinforcement element, a guide mechanism, and a support piece which are adapted to be placed consecutively in a metal pipe or similar object functioning as a housing, and which are adapted to surround a piston rod when installed. To create a seal having relatively few components and a relatively small axial dimension, the reinforcement element is connected to the sealing disk and is constructed to function as a guide element for guiding the axial movement of the piston rod.

Abstract: A lip seal ring for circumferentially contacting and sealing a shaft movable relative to the lip seal ring includes an elastomer ring having a sealing lip and an adhering face and a stiffening ring made of a deformation-resistant material. The stiffening ring is bonded to the elastomer ring at the adhering face. The stiffening ring is made of a phenolic resin, a polyamide resin or a polyimide resin. The elastomer ring is made of an oil-resistant elastomer based on a nitrile-butadiene rubber or a derivative thereof, and polyethylene or polypropylene.
