Abstract: A radial shaft sealing ring is designed to electrically conductively connect a shaft to a component which is stationary relative to the shaft. The radial shaft sealing ring has a supporting body and a sealing element attached thereto having a sealing portion which makes contact with the shaft. The material composition of the sealing element and/or a protective lip comprises at least one base material made from at least one polymer and one or more fillers, with at least one electrically conductive filler being provided.

Abstract: A shaft earthing ring for establishing an electrical potential connection between a rotating shaft and a housing of an electric motor comprises an electrically conductive earthing element which has a contact portion that contacts the shaft, and a metal support body fixed to the housing. The metal support body has at least one ventilation opening which allows ventilation of a housing interior while bypassing the earthing element.
