Abstract

A seal arrangement for a shaft having a broad rpm range, supported in a housing, in particular for axle drives. A radial shaft seal, arranged in the housing bore hole, seals the shaft bearing space from loss of lubricant. A baffle plate, joined to the shaft, and having a lip seal, is aligned radially to the inside, which under the effect of centrifugal force lifts off from its sealing surface at higher rotational speeds of the shaft.
