A sealing arrangement for an electric machine, which is between a first part attached to a rotatable shaft and a second part immobile with respect to a stator of the electric machine includes a plurality of zig-zag sections of a channel of a labyrinth seal in a radial direction of the electric machine. The channel of the labyrinth seal includes a second seal which is fixedly attached to the first part and which has an elastic material part, the second seal is pressed in the radial direction against a surface of the second part, a normal of which has a component parallel to the radial direction, at rotational speeds a centrifugal force of which to the second seal is weaker than a spring force of the second seal, and the second seal opening a gap between the second seal and said surface at rotational speeds the centrifugal force of which to the second seal is greater than the spring force of the second seal.
