SEAL ARRANGEMENT

摘要

A seal arrangement includes a seal having a polymeric sealing body and a flexible auxiliary member which is rigidly affixed to at least a portion of the sealing body and which is an electrical impulse generator and/or sensor adapted for use in the detection of variable parameters of the seal and its environment. The integration of the auxiliary member into the seal arrangement provides for a miniaturized construction and simple manufacture and, installation and operation at low cost.
