  • Patent number: 7946592
    Abstract: A bearing seal includes: a ring-shaped outer seal portion; a ring-shaped inner seal portion provided inside the outer seal portion; a connecting portion for connecting the inner seal portion and the outer seal portion; and a ring-shaped rigid portion provided at the connecting portion. The outer seal portion, the inner seal portion, and the connecting portion are integrally formed of the same material consisting of an elastic material. The inner seal portion has rigidity higher than that of the outer seal portion, and has a ring-shaped seal surface gradually approaching a ring center axis of the inner seal portion while extending from a ring-shaped base end side connected to the connecting portion toward a distal end side. The inner seal portion is formed in a tapered cylindrical shape having the ring-shaped seal surface on an inner peripheral surface thereof, and has a thickness which gradually decreases from the base end side toward the distal end side.

  • Patent number: 7914209
    Abstract: A bearing seal includes an outer seal easily displaceable in the radial direction, an inner ring as a ring-shaped rigid portion not extendable in the radial direction, an inner seal having a seal lip, and an outer ring arranged on the outer peripheral portion of the outer seal, in which the spring constant of the inner seal is set to be larger than the spring constant of the outer seal. The sealing performance between the inner seal and the pin is ensured by using the ring-shaped rigid portion as a boundary. When the pin is displaced in the radial direction, the ring-shaped rigid portion is integrally displaced with the pin via the inner seal, and the displacement of the ring-shaped rigid portion can be absorbed by the outer seal.
