Abstract:
1. Sealing element in combination with a first component and a second component, the first component comprising a cylindrical cavity with a step-shaped shoulder defined by an axially extending inner peripheral surface intersecting an end surface, the step-shaped shoulder providing a narrowed portion of the cavity, the second component comprising a cylindrically-shaped component positioned in the cavity, the sealing element comprising: a stiffening body with an L-shaped cross-sectional surface, the L-shape comprising a first leg and a second leg, the first leg of the L-shape being positioned between an outer peripheral surface of the second component and an inner peripheral surface of the cavity; the inner peripheral surface of the cavity, the outer peripheral surface of the second component and an outer peripheral surface of the second leg being provided in a region of the shoulder extending between the first and second components, the stiffening body, at least in partial regions, touches the shoulder and an end side of the second component; and a sealing body made integrally continuous with a first sealing region that contacts the outer peripheral surface of the second component and with a second sealing region that contacts an annularly peripheral region on the end surface of the shoulder of the first component.
