Abstract: Selon l'invention, pour obtenir un scellement sans contact entre un arbre rotatif (302) à faible vitesse (5-1500 tr/min) et une paroi (304) dans un milieu poussiéreux, on laisse s'accumuler de la matière poudreuse sur les surfaces frontales du joint (300). Le passage annulaire labyrinthique (L, illustré avec des détours exagérés) reliant l'arbre (302) à la paroi (304) présente un détour initial minimum qui n'est pas inférieur à 0,4 mm. La poudre entraînée pénétrant dans le passage (L) se dépose en couches sur des surfaces frontales du passage (L) qui réduisent la section transversale du passage (L) et l'écoulement fluidique à travers ce passage (L). Pendant l'assemblage, on peut insérer des bagues de réglage de section L dans le passage (L) afin de maintenir les détours appropriés. Même si ces derniers se détérioreront rapidement pendant le rodage du joint (300), ils peuvent contribuer à l'accumulation de couches poudreuses.
