<p>A sealing assembly (1) for a reciprocating mechanical member (2), in particular for a shock absorber rod, wherein a rigid ring (3) carries a sealing ring (6) made of elastomeric material; the rigid ring (3) is provided, integrally in one piece, with a substantially cylindrical collar (7) projecting substantially axially from a radially inner peripheral edge (5) of the rigid ring (3); the sealing ring (6) has a sealing portion (12) which, from a root portion (11) fixed to the rigid ring (3), projects radially beyond the peripheral edge (5) of the rigid ring (3) and axially in a direction substantially parallel to the collar (7); a recessed annular chamber (24) is interposed radially between the sealing portion (12) and the collar (7); and, in use, the root portion (11) defines a virtual hinge which, together with the annular chamber (24), allows the sealing portion (12) to deform elastically so as to rest against the collar (7). The sealing portion (12) is thus assured optimum stress conditions enabling the sealing ring (6) to be made of fluorinated elastomeric polymers. <IMAGE></p> |
