Abstract

A cable seal for feed-throughs on housings is provided. Cables or hoses are fed through the feed-through into the housing and are sealed by two sealing rings. Because of different diameters of the sealing rings, the sealing rings are radially expanded or compressed by an axial force and the cable is sealed to the housing tightly with respect to the surroundings. The axial force on the sealing rings is produced by a pressing element that can be screwed on.

Claims (20)

1. A sealing arrangement for sealing cables and hoses to a housing, comprising a feedthrough in the housing and a pressure element,

wherein the pressure element can be screwed onto the housing or can be screwed into the housing at one end of the feedthrough,

wherein a first pressure surface is embodied on the feedthrough and an opposite-lying, second pressure surface is embodied on the pressure element,

wherein a pressure region is embodied between the first pressure surface and the second pressure surface,

wherein a first sealing ring and a second sealing ring are arranged between the first pressure surface and the second pressure surface,

wherein the first and second sealing rings are embodied as a rotation torus, and

wherein a sealing arrangement is provided between the first and second sealing rings, the sealing arrangement resulting from the first and second sealing rings being pressed together in direct contact with each other as a result of movement of the pressure element.

2. The sealing arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the first sealing ring comprises a larger inner diameter than the second sealing ring.

3. The sealing arrangement according to claim 2 , wherein the inner diameter of the first sealing ring is smaller than an outer diameter of the second sealing ring.

4. The sealing arrangement according to claim 3 , wherein an outer diameter of the first sealing ring is larger than the outer diameter of the second sealing ring.

5. The sealing arrangement according to claim 4 , wherein the inner diameter of the second sealing ring is smaller than a diameter of the feedthrough.

6. The sealing arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the first and second sealing rings are embodied from an elastic polymer.

7. The sealing arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the pressure element is embodied as a ring.

8. The sealing arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein a decoupling device is arranged on the second pressure surface and said decoupling device can rotate with respect to the second pressure surface.

9. The sealing arrangement according to claim 8 , wherein the decoupling device is embodied as a planar ring.

10. A sealing arrangement for sealing a cable or a hose to a housing having a feedthrough through which the cable or the hose passes, the sealing arrangement comprising:

a pressure element that is configured to be screwed onto or into the housing at one end of the feedthrough;

a first sealing ring embodied as a rotation torus and arranged between the housing and the pressure element; and

a second sealing ring embodied as a rotation torus and arranged between the housing and the pressure element, and

wherein a sealing interface is provided between the first and second sealing rings, the sealing interface resulting from the first and second sealing rings being pressed together in direct contact with each other as a result of movement of the pressure element relative to the housing.
