Abstract
A shaft seal that is preferably a radial shaft seal has a sealing element of polyfluorocarbon that is provided with a sealing lip. The sealing element contacts a surface to be sealed under a radial force action acting in a radial direction of the shaft seal. An elastomer element is provided that is acting on the sealing lip and loads the sealing lip in a direction toward the surface to be sealed. The elastomer element supports the sealing element. The sealing element is resting flat on a face of the elastomer element, wherein the face is facing away from a medium side of the shaft seal.
