A sealing device for sealing at least one underpressure or overpressure zone adjoining a surface which is moved in a movement direction in a paper, tissue or cardboard machine, includes at least one sealing element which is located opposite the moved surface and has at least one feed channel for a lubricant. In order to considerably decrease the wear of a sealing element uniformly over the entire length thereof, the at least one feed channel ends in a supply channel, which is arranged at the beginning of the sealing element in the movement direction.

A seal for use in an extrusion device for producing continuous profiles, in particular plastics pipes includes an elastic sealing disc, which is arranged in a plane approximately perpendicularly to the extrusion direction and has a through-passage opening letting through the continuous profile and having a sealing rim bearing against the continuous profile. Connection members are arranged along the sealing rim, and clamping elements are provided for exerting a force on the connection members, with the force acting radially with respect to the extrusion axis. The clamping elements are arranged in a plane parallel to the sealing disc, have a passage opening for the continuous profile and include connecting members for connecting the connection members to the clamping elements.

An actuator comprises: a housing which is provided with an opening; a slider which is installed so as to be movable relative to the housing; a drive means which is installed in the housing and which moves the slider; at least a pair of seal members which is disposed at the opening of the housing so as to face each other and which exhibits dust-proof and drip-proof functions by engaging with each other; and move-through members which are mounted to both sides of the slider in the movement direction thereof and which move through the pair of seal members. The move-through members each comprise: a move-through section which pushes apart the pair of seal members in the direction in which the pair is separated; a cover section which covers an expanded opening formed between the pair of seal members when the pair is pushed apart by the move-through section; and an opening restriction section which, when the pair of seal members is pushed apart from each other by the move-through section, restricts the amount of opening between the pair of seal members and in turn restricts the size of the expanded opening.

A sealing lock for a vacuum deposition facility of a coating on a running metal strip following a running path, including walls and at least three pairs of rolls, inside the walls, wherein each pair of rolls of the at least three pairs of rolls includes a roll with a metal surface and a roll with an elastomer surface layer, having a thickness from 3 to 30 mm, forming a gap from 1 to 11 mm, the rolls with an elastomer surface layer of two successive pairs of rolls are on opposite sides of the running path.
