Sealing unit with an axially deformable ring comprises a radially deformable spring element whose radial restoring force is at least partially transformed into an axial restoring force of the ring

摘要

The sealing unit (124) with an axially deformable ring (136) and a ring axis (134) comprises a spring element (188) which is radially deformable by a radial restoring force. As a consequence of the inclined contact surfaces between the ring and the spring element, a radial restoring force of the spring element is at least partially transformed into an axial restoring force of the ring. An independent claim is also included for a sealing assembly incorporating the proposed sealing unit.
