Gap seal for sealing a gap between two adjacent components

The invention relates to a gap seal ( 6 )for sealing a gap ( 3 ) between two adjacent components ( 1,2 ), in particular in turbo machines. A sealing body ( 7 ) has a band ( 18 ) with a cross-section that is bent in such a way that two contact zones ( 8 ) formed on it abut with a preloan against two...

Summary:The invention relates to a gap seal ( 6 )for sealing a gap ( 3 ) between two adjacent components ( 1,2 ), in particular in turbo machines. A sealing body ( 7 ) has a band ( 18 ) with a cross-section that is bent in such a way that two contact zones ( 8 ) formed on it abut with a preloan against two facing sealing surfaces ( 9 ) of components ( 1,2 ). The contact zones ( 8 ) are able to deflect resiliently when the distance between the sealing surfaces ( 9 ) is reduced. A support zone ( 11 ) formed between the contact zones ( 8 ) is supported on a step ( 10 ) vertically to the spring movement. The step ( 10 ) is formed on one of the components ( 2 ) and projects from its sealing surface ( 9 ) towards the sealing surface ( 9 ) of the other component ( 1 ).
