Abstract
A metering device for use in syringes and pipetting piston-cylinder arrangements, including a sealing component working together with at least one pretensioning component. The sealing component comprises a sealing segment extending in the axial direction and in the circumferential direction. The sealing segment has a sealing surface facing in a first radial direction for sealing and sliding contact in at least the axial direction, is formed on a working surface formed on the outer surface of the piston rod facing toward the inner wall of the cylinder. The sealing segment also has a pretensioning surface extending in a second radial direction opposite to the first for engaging with the pretensioning component for transferring the radial pretensioning force, where the pretensioning component includes a spring carrier and a plurality of separately formed radial spring segments compliantly supported at least in the radial direction on the spring carrier.
