Abstract
A sealing ring for sealing a second component, which rotates in relation to a first component, for example for sealing a distribution channel of a rotary media distributor in a beverage filling system is described. The sealing ring includes an annular seal main body to be accommodated on the first component and a wear profiled element arranged radially within the seal main body for contacting the second component in a sealing manner, wherein the seal main body has at least one region of reduced radius in order to enable deformation of the seal main body as the seal main body is assembled with the first component.

A sealing ring configured to seal a second component that rotates in relation to a first component comprising:
- an annular seal main body configured to be accommodated on the first component;
- and
- a wear profiled element arranged radially within the annular seal main body and configured to contact the second component in a sealing manner, wherein the annular seal main body comprises at least one region of reduced radius compared to radii of other regions of the annular seal main body, and wherein the at least one region of reduced radius enables deformation of the annular seal main body as the annular seal main body is assembled with the first component.
A rotary media distributor comprising:
- a sealing ring, wherein the sealing ring comprises:
- an annular seal main body configured to be accommodated on a first component;
- and
- a wear profiled element arranged radially within the annular seal main body and configured to contact a second component to seal the second component that rotates in relation to the first component, wherein the annular seal main body comprises at least one region of reduced radius compared to radii of other regions of the annular seal main body, and wherein the at least one region of reduced radius enables deformation of the annular seal main body as the seal main body is assembled with the first component.
