In an embodiment, the present invention provides a seal with at least one sealing lip to seal a gap between a machine component and a housing, including: a main body made from resilient material, the main body being equipped such that it is electrically conductive and is covered with a jacket made from an electrically insulating material on at least part of its outer side. The jacket is assigned to at least those regions of the main body that are in contact with the machine component and the housing.

Seal and seal assembly

A flange seal has a support body of a tough, hard material, and a sealing element of a rubbery-elastic material, that are interconnected in a single piece, the sealing element having a sealing edge that can be exposed to a medium to be sealed in a chamber to be sealed. In the state resulting from manufacture, the sealing element has cavities in the region of the sealing edge, which cavities vary in volume during use of the flange seal as intended.

Flange seal and sealing arrangement comprising a flange seal of this type

Component () having at least one element () having a curved surface (), wherein the element () is provided with a coded, electronically readable identification (), which is introduced into the surface as a topographic identification (), wherein the identification () is embodied in such a way that it can be read in two dimensions by means of a reader.

Component provided with a machine-readable identification

A method for reading a topographic structure applied to a component includes providing the component with the topographic structure, applying an agent configured to enhance a contrast of the structure to at least a region of the component where the structure is located and reading the topographic structure after the applying the agent.
