A sealing ring for sealing a machine part, e.g. a shaft, comprises a housing (1, 1a to 1f) to which is attached a sealing element (7, 7a to 7f) which is substantially rotationally symmetric, the sealing element including a sealing edge (10, 10a to 10f), at least over part of its periphery, and the sealing edge, when viewed in a projection onto an axial plane of the sealing ring, lies at an angle ( a ) deviating from 90{ to the seal axis (12). Owing to the inclined position of the sealing edge, a returning action is exerted in a simple manner on the medium which is to be sealed off which passes beneath the sealing portion in both directions of rotation of the machine part which is to be sealed off. |
