Abstract

The invention relates to a manufacturing process for brush-type seals having the following steps: PA1 Stacking of bristles in a bristle receiving shaft such that the bristles are partially situated next to the space for at least one brush cheek; PA1 adjusting the bristle receiving shaft in synchronization with the stacking of the bristles relative to a point of introduction of the bristles into the bristle receiving shaft so that the position of a bristle stack surface in the bristle receiving shaft remains at least essentially constant relative to the point of introduction; PA1 fastening the bristles on at least one brush cheek in the bristle receiving shaft; and PA1 removing the at least one brush cheek with the bristles fastened thereto from the bristle receiving shaft. In addition, the invention provides an arrangement for manufacturing brush-type seals by means of which the above-mentioned process can be carried out correspondingly.
