The sealing element comprises a membrane portion forming one arm, a sealing lip on the other arm and an annular portion fastened by the membrane to the annular portion of the stiffening ring. The radial portion of the stiffening ring and the membrane portion define a cavity therebetween and a fulcrum axis is provided centrally of the two arms to pivot the sealing lip into contact with the surface to be sealed.
