Sealing arrangement having multiple ring completely covered by elastomeric sealing material
First Claim
1. A sealing arrangement comprising:
- a first machine element and a second machine element; and
a sealing ring comprising;
a support ring extending substantially in a radial direction;
a first sealing element joined in said radial direction to said support ring, said first sealing element contacting said first machine element and being nonrotatable with respect to said first machine element, to thereby create a static seal;
a second sealing element joined in said radial direction to said support ring, said second sealing element contacting said second machine element and being rotatable with respect to said second machine element, to thereby create a dynamic seal, said first and second sealing elements each being made of an elastomeric material; and
a multipole ring made of a pasty, hardenable, and magnetizable material, said multipole ring comprising an intermediate layer of film-like thinness on a side of said support ring facing a rotational speed sensor, said multipole ring having north and south poles alternating in a circumferential direction and extending in said radial direction, and wherein said multipole ring is completely covered by said elastomeric material of one of said first or second sealing elements.

Abstract
A sealing arrangement including a sealing ring with a support ring extending substantially in a radial direction. The support ring is joined in the radial direction to a first sealing element that lies in contact with and is nonrotatable with respect to a first machine element to form a static seal. The support ring is also joined in the radial direction to a second sealing element that is placed against a second machine element rotatably with respect to the second machine element to create a dynamic seal. The first and second sealing elements are each made of an elastomeric material, and at least one multipole ring that can move past a rotational speed sensor. The multipole ring is made of a pasty, hardenable, and magnetizable material that is arranged as a intermediate layer of film-like thinness on the side of the support ring facing the rotational speed sensor. The multipole ring has north and south poles alternating in the circumferential direction and extending in the radial direction, and the multipole ring is completely covered by the elastomeric material of the first and/or second sealing elements.
