A sealing system for sliding sleeves for controlling gas exchange in internal combustion engines. The sealing system is designed such that the pressure on the sealing seat of the sliding sleeve increases when the gas pressure increases, which is similar to that of common valves in internal combustion engines. This is obtained by way of a pressure stage on the inner diameter in the region of the sealing seat of the sliding sleeve. As a result, the maximum outer diameter of the sealing seat does not exceed the inner diameter of the piston running surface of the sliding sleeve, the closing pressure acting upon the sliding sleeve being equal to or greater than the maximum possible opening pressure acting upon the sliding sleeve even when the sealing seat is subjected to a total gas pressure. |
