The invention relates to a slide ring packing, comprising a rotating counter-ring (1) and a stationary slide ring (2), wherein the counter-ring (1) and the slide ring (2) each have abutting sealing surfaces (1a, 2a), wherein the sealing surface (1a) of the counter-ring (1) is located opposite of the sealing surface (2a) of the slide ring (2), and wherein the counter-ring (1) has a first axial protuberance (8) which projects from a radial plane (9) of the counter-ring (1). The aim of the invention is to design and further develop a slide ring packing of the type mentioned above such that it ensures reliable function, even at varying and different sliding speeds, pressures and temperatures. The slide ring packing is characterised in that the counter-ring (1) has a second axial protuberance (10) which projects from the radial plane (9) and is spaced apart from the first protuberance (8).
