The sealing liphas a high-pressure surface areabordering the high-pressure area, and a low-pressure surface areabordering the low-pressure area. The seal has a supporting element, wherein the supporting elementforms a support of the sealing lipon the low-pressure surface side, the support extending substantially parallel to the sealing edge, with the support being arranged between the sealing edgeand the retaining element
