More Information
Summary:The present invention relates to a sealing arrangement which is formed between a rotating assembly and a static assembly. In this sealing arrangement, the rotating assembly has at least one cutting element which engages in a counterpart surface on the static component. The present sealing arrangement is distinguished by the fact that the cutting element is designed as a chipping device with a geometrically determined cutting edge with respect to the counterpart surface or forms a chipping device of this type when the rotating assembly is rotating. The proposed sealing arrangement reduces the wear to the cutting element even in the event of adverse rotation or temperature conditions.
