Abstract

A seal for stemming leakage flows between adjacent components, especially of a gas turbine, has an elastically deformable, thin-walled sealing element and a thin-walled cover element which is U-shaped in cross section and between its legs and its base partially accommodates the sealing element. The legs of the cover element are arranged in the sealing arrangement, which features the seal, between two oppositely disposed walls of the other component in a movable manner relative to these walls which, together with the sealing surface of the other component, form a groove which is U-shaped in cross section. Forces, which act laterally upon the seal, are absorbed by the cover element and via the legs are diverted into the other component so that the integrity of the seal is maintained even in the case of lateral forces.
