The invention relates to a sealing assembly consisting of at least: two abutting components and a sealing provile produced from an elastomeric material, which bridges the gap between the two components to form a seal; the components are configured in particular as sections which are assembled into a tubular tunnel thus forming transverse and longitudinal joints, and a sealing profile being located in turn in each recess, thus forming a cornered sealing framework; a lubricant for the contact surfaces between each component and the sealing profile, in particular for the contact surfaces between two sealing profiles. The inventive sealing assembly is characterised in that at least one sealing profile is provided with at least two protrusions in the vicinity of the contact surfaces. The protrusions form a sealed chamber, in which the lubricant is contained.
A sealing assembly (1) at least comprising the following:
