A sealing ring is provided for non-hermetic fluid seals with a restricted passage between sealing elements rotating relative to one another the sealing has a carrier and at least one sealing rib extending radially on the outside or inside around the carrier. The edge of each rib forms a flow restriction with an opposing running in surface, with the sealing rib presenting an abrasive geometry. Each sealing rib has for the most part a smooth, rotationally symmetrical contour, and one or a few cutting elements are arranged at one or a few points on each sealing rib so that each element projects radially and axially on one or both sides from the sealing rib contour.

Sealing ring for non-hermetic fluid seals

The present invention relates to a testing apparatus for testing vibration damping elements of moving blades, with a mounting means to be attached to an oscillating apparatus, whereby a damping element to be tested is to be arranged between the mounting means and the blades, and at least one extendable body that can be charged with pressure is arranged between the mounting means and the damping element.

Vibration damping element test apparatus

A sealing device is provided, specifically between engine spaces which fluidically are acted upon by a different pressure, particularly for turbo-engines, such as gas turbo-engines. The sealing device includes at least one brush sealing device non-rotatably anchored at the stator side, the free bristle ends of this brush sealing device being guided in the direction toward an engine rotor. In this case, the brush sealing device is to be constructed as a radial sliding ring sealing device. The free ends of the bristles, while forming a secondary sealing, are guided in a circumferential groove of a sliding ring which is separated at least at one circumferential point, and which, on the side facing away from the bristles, forms a self-centering primary sealing at the engine rotor.
