Oil scraper ring for a piston rod

A sealing pack for sealing a translationally oscillating piston rod, the sealing pack comprising:

• a pack housing;
• a number of sealing rings arranged axially in succession, the sealing rings including at least one scraper ring configured and arranged for scraping oil from the piston rod, the at least one scraper ring including
• a radially outer circumferential surface including at least one outer circumferential groove configured and arranged for receiving an annular spring configured and arranged to radially prestress the scraper ring,
• a radially inner circumferential surface including a plurality of sealing sections, each of the plurality of sealing sections including a scraping edge,
• a plurality of inner circumferential grooves configured and arranged to axially space apart adjacent sealing sections of the plurality of sealing sections,
• a first axial ring end,
• a second axial ring end,
• at least one recess radially penetrating the scraper ring is provided on a circumference of the scraper ring, the at least one recess extends at least partially from the first axial ring end of the scraper ring to the second axial ring end of the scraper ring, the at least one recess is configured and arranged adjust the scraper ring in the circumferential direction, at least in the region of the plurality of sealing sections on the first axial ring end of the scraper ring, and wherein the at least one recess extends at least in sections in a direction deviating from an axial direction of the scraper ring, and
• at least one drainage opening is provided on the radially outer circumferential surface of the scraper ring, which is connected to at least one inner circumferential groove, and is configured and arranged for removing scraped oil from the inner circumferential groove, characterized in that the at least one drainage opening extends in the shape of a groove from the first axial ring end of said scraper ring partially in the direction of the second axial ring end and is connected to multiple inner circumferential grooves.
