Abstract
A machine assembly includes a first machine component and a second machine component, the first machine component including a first installation surface and the second machine component including a second installation surface. The first and second installation surfaces are mounted against one another in the assembly. A friction-increasing element is provided in the assembly between the first installation surface and the second installation surface. Further, in the assembled state, a sealing material is introduced into an intermediate space between the first and second installation surfaces.

A machine assembly comprising:
- a first machine component including a first installation surface;
- a second machine component including a second installation surface mounted against the first installation surface;
- a friction-increasing element provided between the first installation surface and the second installation surface;
- and
- a sealing material introduced into an intermediate space between the first installation surface and the second installation surface and circumferentially about an entire perimeter of the first and second machine components and the friction-increasing element, the sealing material being formed as a liquid seal composition applied as a liquid to at least one of the first and second installation surfaces and/or the friction-increasing element and cured after assembly of the first and second machine components such that the liquid sealing material bonds to both installation surfaces and flows into any seal gaps in the assembly prior to curing.
A machine assembly comprising:
- a first machine component including a first installation surface;
- a second machine component connected with the first machine component and including a second installation surface facing the first installation surface;
- a friction-increasing element disposed between the first installation surface and the second installation surface;
- and
- a sealing material disposed within an intermediate space between the first installation surface and the second installation surface and circumferentially about an entire perimeter of the first and second machine components and the friction-increasing element, the sealing material being configured to seal the friction-increasing element from an external environment of the machine assembly and being formed from a liquid seal composition applied as a liquid into the intermediate space after assembly of the first and second machine components and then cured such that the liquid sealing material bonds to both installation surfaces and flows into any seal gaps in the assembly prior to curing.
