A shaft grounding device for establishing an electrically conductive connection between a rotatable shaft and a housing is mechanically and electrically connected to the housing. The shaft grounding device particularly includes contact elements, where each of the contact elements is elastically bendable and electrically conductive, and where the contact elements forming a sliding contact that is electrically conductive with a circumferential surface of the rotatable shaft or a sleeve on the rotatable shaft, with the the contact elements preloading the sliding contact. Additionally, the shaft grounding device includes at least one guide element, with each of the at least one guide element preventing the contact elements from folding over when the shaft grounding device is mounted onto the rotatable shaft.
