Abstract
A sealing arrangement for sealing a first region from a second, oil-filled region on a rotating component, including a sealing ring with a first sealing flange, a second sealing flange and a connecting region. The sealing arrangement includes a grounding element arranged on a rear side of the connecting region and that electrically connects the rotating component to a stationary housing. The sealing arrangement includes a gap seal arranged between the first sealing flange and the grounding element. A first space between the sealing ring and the gap seal provides a collecting space for oil from the second region. The gap seal maintains a gap to the rotating component ensuring protection of the grounding element from oil and supplying oil to the grounding element depending on a gap height to allow contact lubrication between the grounding element and the rotating component without functionally restricting electrical properties of the grounding element.
