Abstract

This invention provides a sealing mechanism for sealing the piston-cylinder unit of a reciprocating diaphragm pump to ensure that the piston-cylinder unit is permanently and reliably sealed while being simple to assemble. The invention further provides a piston-cylinder unit which has almost no play in the micrometer (.mu.m) range, and which is sealed by hydrodynamically sealing a slot thereof.
