Sealing system for use in vacuum technology has centrally symmetrical sealing component whose geometry is designed so that when axially compressed it is reversibly deformed to produce tangential, symmetrical contact surface

摘要

The sealing system has a centrally symmetrical sealing component (1) whose geometry is designed so that when axially compressed it is reversibly deformed to produce a tangential, symmetrical contact surface (3) with a sealing partner (2). The sealing component may have rotational symmetry and the contact surface may form part of the inner or outer surface of the component. The sealing partner may be a vacuum small flange (KF) fitting, ISO -flange or CF flange.
