Abstract
A seal assembly includes a primary seal unit which seals off a first space from a second space, and a dam seal unit which delimits the second space from a discharge space so that a liquid introduced into the second space is dischargable into the discharge space. The primary seal unit includes a guide ring having a first lateral surface with a length, a rotating face which is guided on the guide ring, a retaining ring having a second lateral surface, and a secondary seal which acts between the guide ring and the retaining ring. The retaining ring is displaceable relative to the guide ring in a direction of the length of the first lateral surface. The second lateral surface of the retaining ring surrounds the first lateral surface of the guide ring at least over a part of the length of the first lateral surface.
