The arrangement has shells (1-3) connected with one another in a circumferential direction (U) and arranged adjacent to each other in an axial direction (A). The shells comprise V or U-shaped cross sections opened opposite to a through flow direction and/or thread axis inclined opposite to the through flow direction. The cross sections are constant over the entire length of the shells, and the arrangement is arranged at a rotor and/or stator of a turbomachine. The thread axis is inclined at an angle to a radial direction (R), where the angle amounts to preferably 50 degrees. An independent claim is also included for a method for manufacturing a sealing arrangement.
