Abstract
An axial face seal, in particular a running gear seal, consists of an angular sliding ring and/or counter-ring with a circumferential surface for accommodating a ring-shaped sealing member with approximately plate-shaped cross section. The sealing member contains a secondary seal guided in the area of the sealing leg, wherein the sealing leg of the sliding ring and/or counter-ring is provided on the ring backside with an axial projection extending in the direction of the sealing member. The secondary seal in the non-assembled state is positioned at a radial distance to the sealing leg or the projection and has at least in part a larger diameter than the sealing member. At least the free end of the secondary seal can be positioned with radial compression on the sealing leg or the projection with the aid of a component that accommodates the sealing member.
