A slide ring seal, including a slide ring and a counter-ring, the slide ring and the counter-ring sealingly contacting each; other so as to be relatively rotatable at their sealing surfaces and so as to be acted upon by spring tension under axial prestressing. The slide ring, via a sealing ring, is sealingly connected to a drive ring in a rotatably fixed manner. The sealing ring is arranged between the slide ring and the drive ring, without adhering. The slide ring, the sealing ring, and the drive ring constitute a preassemblable unit, and the unit on the exterior peripheral side is enclosed by a housing flange under radial prestressing in a rotatably fixed manner.
