The invention relates to a shaft-grounding ring which is used to remove induced voltages or electric charges from a first machine element (), preferably from a shaft, into a second machine element () and has an annular housing (), which consists of electrically conductive material and is conductively connected to the one machine element () and has an electrically conductive connection to at least one discharging element (). The discharging element consists of an electrically conductive material and has an electrically conductive connection to the other machine element. The discharging element () is a disk-shaped discharging body that extends at least over part of the circumference thereof.

A crankshaft seal flange has a support made at least partially of a plastic material. The support has a passage with an inner wall. The support has at least one dynamic seal that extends about a circumference of the inner wall of the passage. At least one sensor is provided that detects crankshaft rotary speed and crankshaft position. The at least one sensor encompasses an electronic component group that is integrated into the plastic material of the support.
