A radial shaft sealing ring is disclosed. The sealing ring comprises a flat circular sealing element fabricated from a polymer material. The outer circumferential region of sealing element is mounted in a holding ring which surrounds the shaft. The sealing element is curved from the outer circumferential region to the inner circumference in the direction toward the sealed off medium with the sealing element being expanded away from the shaft in the region adjacent the inner circumference. The sealing element contacts the shaft intermediate the outer circumferential region and the expanded inner circumference region thereby providing a circular sealing contact area. The sealing element curvature provides an increasing inside diameter for the sealing element along the axial distance of the shaft from the circular sealing contact area to the expanded inner circumference. The inner circumferential area may be provided with swirl fins.

A radial shaft sealing ring for sealing off a medium comprising: a holding ring surrounding said shaft; a flat circular sealing element fabricated from a polymer material having an outer circumferential region and a bore therethrough defining an inner circumference for providing a passage for said shaft; wherein, said outer circumferential region of said sealing element is mounted in said holding ring; said sealing element is curved from said outer circumferential region to said inner circumference in the direction toward said sealed-off medium whereby said sealing element surrounds said shaft with a variable inside diameter; said sealing element is expanded away from said shaft in the region adjacent said inner circumference; said sealing element contacts said shaft intermediate said outer circumferential region and said inner circumference thereby providing a circular sealing contact area wherein said sealing element is absent additional mechanical means urging compressive contact of said sealing element with said shaft intermediate said inner circumferential region and said outer circumferential region; whereby said sealing element curvature provides an increasing inside diameter of said sealing element along the axial distance of said shaft from said circular sealing contact area to said expanded inner circumference.
