SECONDARY SEALING ELEMENT
A secondary sealing element comprises a base body ( 12 ) made of a synthetic material and comprising a base portion ( 13 ) and a seal portion ( 14 ) which each comprise coaxially aligned, axially adjacent through bores ( 17, 31 ) for the passage of a component, and an annular disc element ( 25 ) acc...

Summary: | A secondary sealing element comprises a base body ( 12 ) made of a synthetic material and comprising a base portion ( 13 ) and a seal portion ( 14 ) which each comprise coaxially aligned, axially adjacent through bores ( 17, 31 ) for the passage of a component, and an annular disc element ( 25 ) accommodated in the base portion and comprising a through bore ( 30 ) coaxially aligned with the through bores in the base and seal portions and being made of a material which differs from that of the base body. In the unloaded state, the through bore ( 30 ) of the annular disc element ( 25 ) has a radial dimension d which is greater than that D2 of the through bore ( 31 ) in the seal portion ( 14 ) and smaller than that D1 in the base portion ( 13 ) of the base body ( 12 ). The annular disc element consists of a carbon material. An important field of application for the secondary sealing element is that of mechanical face seals for sealing relatively moveable components. |
