1. A sealing arrangement for an output apparatus for discharging a flowable medium, the sealing arrangement having a rod seal for sealing a cavity formed in a housing and configured to receive the flowable medium in the region of a rod, wherein the rod is movably supported in the housing to be displaced in an axial direction of the rod, wherein the housing has a bearing portion, wherein the rod seal is supported in a fixed manner in the bearing portion, wherein the rod extends through the bearing portion and the rod seal so that a first rod portion of the rod and a second rod portion of the rod are arranged at different sides of the bearing portion, wherein the first rod portion is located at a side of the bearing portion facing the cavity and wherein the second rod portion is located at a side of the bearing portion facing away from the cavity, wherein the rod seal is arranged at the side of the bearing portion facing the cavity, wherein the rod seal has a first sealing lip and a second sealing lip, wherein the first sealing lip and the second sealing lip are spaced apart from each other in the axial direction, wherein the first sealing lip and the second sealing lip circumferentially contact the rod, wherein the bearing portion has at a side thereof facing the cavity a discharge structure having a support face which circumferentially surrounds the rod, wherein the rod seal is in abutment with the support face, and wherein a diameter of the support face increases in the direction of the second rod portion, the sealing arrangement having a resiliently deformable clamping element, wherein the clamping element is in circumferential abutment with the rod seal on a covering face of the rod seal facing away from the rod and presses the first sealing lip and the second sealing lip against the rod, and wherein the covering face of the rod seal, with which the clamping element is in abutment, in an initial state of the rod seal, consequently in a non-deformed state, has a diameter which increases in the direction of the first rod portion, wherein the clamping element has two radially inwardly protruding projections and the clamping element is arranged such that one projection of the two radially inwardly protruding projections acts on the first sealing lip in such a manner that the first sealing lip is pressed against the rod and the other projection of the two radially inwardly protruding projections acts on the second sealing lip in such a manner that the second sealing lip is pressed against the rod, and wherein the two radially inwardly protruding projections contact the rod seal in a region of the covering face of the rod seal having the increasing diameter, such that a diameter of the covering face of the rod seal that is in contact with the one projection of the two radially inwardly protruding projections is smaller than a diameter of the covering face of the rod seal that is in contact with the other projection of the two radially inwardly protruding projections.
