Abstract

A one-piece axial seal is provided for sealing a passage at the interface between a first component and a second component, in particular a fluid conduit or a screw hole. The seal has a fastening section, comprising a projection adapted to be pressed into a bore provided in the first component, and a sealing section. So that the axial seal can take up an exactly defined position on the first component, the sealing section is prestressed in a direction towards which the projection extends.
