Sealing arrangement with grounding element

A sealing arrangement for sealing a first region from a second, oil-filled region on a rotating component, comprising:

• a sealing ring made of an elastic material with a first sealing flange, a second sealing flange and a connecting region, wherein the connecting region connects the first sealing flange to the second sealing flange and has a front side directed towards the second region;
• a grounding element which is arranged on a rear side of the connecting region and is configured to electrically connect the rotating component to a stationary housing component;
• and
• a gap seal which is arranged in an axial direction between a sealing contact of the first sealing flange on the rotating component and the grounding element, so that a first space is formed between the sealing ring and the gap seal in order to provide a collecting space for oil or oil mist from the second region,
• wherein the gap seal is configured to maintain a gap to the rotating component in such a way as to ensure protection of the grounding element from oil contamination and to supply oil or oil mist to the grounding element in a defined manner depending on a gap height of the gap in order to allow contact lubrication between the grounding element and the rotating component without functionally restricting electrical properties of the grounding element, and
• wherein a protective lip is formed on the sealing ring, which is arranged in the axial direction between the sealing contact and the gap seal, so that a further collecting space is formed between the protective lip and the gap seal, and a further gap is arranged between the protective lip and the rotating component.
