Abstract

An assembly forms a seal between components (11, 33) having sealing zones (37,51). The sealing zones face each other in a functional position of the components. A sealing element (43, 57) is on the sealing zone (37, 51) of one component (11, 33). A sealing surface (51) is on the sealing zone (37, 51) of the other component (11, 33) to form a radial seal. The components (11, 33) can be brought into the functional position by a relative movement in the axial direction. The sealing element (43, 57) sealingly interacts with the sealing surface (51) in the functional position. A third component (61) associated with an actuating part (62) acts on the sealing element (43;57) in the functional position of the components (11, 33) to deform the element to increase the sealing force.
