A sealing ring is provided for use, e.g., in boring machines or wind turbines, among other intended uses. The sealing ring includes an axial leg and a sealing leg with a sealing lip. The sealing leg is connected to a first end face of the axial leg by means of a joint. The sealing ring further includes a tensioning element for stabilizing the sealing leg in the radial direction. The tensioning element is annular and formed by a spring connected to the sealing leg.
