To make a sealing and guiding packet available to shock dampers in order
to minimize or even entirely prevent the negative effects of the
so-called stick-slip effect and thus permit greater riding comfort, a
sealing and guiding packet is proposed which comprises the following
features: a) A cylindrical gasket (6) surrounding an oscillating piston
rod (10) and in contact with the latter, which has a first and a second
end face (6a, 6b) and a cylindrical mantle surface (6c), b) a cylindrical
elastomer element (7) surrounding the ring (6), which has two radially
extending flanges (7a, 7b), which thrust the ring (6) resiliently against
the end faces, and which [elastomer element] has a radially extending
third flange (7c) which biases the ring against the piston rod surface;
as well as c) tightening elements (1; 1.1, 1.2, 1.3; 4) which in the
working state keep the elastomer element (7) under bias both in the axial
and in the radial direction.
