Abstract: A sealing assembly (1a, 1b) including: a first annular shield (10) presenting a sleeve portion (11) and a flange portion (12) which extends radially from a first end (13) of the sleeve portion; and a sealing member (15) made of elastomeric material presenting an annular root portion (16) which extends radially and overhangingly from a peripheral edge (18) of the flange portion and a first axial annular sealing lip (20) in which the sealing member presents a second radial annular sealing lip (21), the lips (20, 21) axially and overhangingly extending from the opposite side of the first end of the sleeve portion, on a same side as a thinned end (23) of the root portion and being reciprocally spread to form a radial V-shaped section having vertex facing the root portion and axis parallel to the sleeve portion; the first lip presenting a radial seat (32) facing the opposite side of the second lip and accommodating a toroidal spring (33) applying an offset radial stress to an elastic hinge defined by the thinned e

Abstract: A seal assembly including first and second rigid shields and a sealing member carried by the first shield and having a first and second annular sealing lip in sealing engagement with respective sliding surfaces of the second shield. The first sealing lip carries in a radial seat thereof a toroidal spring exerting a radially eccentric thrust on the first sealing lip with respect to an elastic hinge defined by a common root portion of the lips, having a center of rotation located along a line extending through a V-shaped sealing edge of the first lip and forming a 20° to 60° angle with a radial plane. The root portion is defined between two opposite annular recesses having a U-shaped cross-section and bottom walls facing each other, substantially aligned along the aforementioned line.

Abstract: A sealing assembly including a sealing member made of elastomeric material and PTFE; a supporting armature; and an annular L-shaped shield cooperating, in use, with the sealing member. The armature has a sleeve portion and a radial flange portion partly supporting a radial portion of the sealing member, projecting towards the axis of symmetry and made of elastomeric material with no supporting armature. The radial portion increases in axial size towards the axis of symmetry, and supports, on its free end, a sleeve made of PTFE, the sleeve having a cylindrical first end portion projecting axially, and a conical second end portion projecting axially on the opposite side to and by a greater amount than the first end portion to form an elastically deformable axial sealing lip extending, in undeformed conditions, farther away from the axis of symmetry as it comes away from the flange portion.

Abstract: A sealing device for a bearing of the hub of a motor vehicle wheel comprising a stationary race (1) and a rotatable race (2), each defining respective channels (6, 7) for the passage of pressurized air. The sealing device (20) is to be mounted between the rotatable race and the stationary race in order to delimit laterally and hermetically seal an annular space or chamber (14) defined between the bearing races (1, 2) and communicating with the channels (6, 7). The sealing device (20) comprises two sealing units (9) axially facing one another. Each sealing unit (9) comprises an annular reinforcement (10) having an axial cylindrical wall (10a) for mounting to a first bearing race (1) and a radial wall (10b) for reinforcing a flexible gasket (11). The two sealing units (9) are coupled by means of an annular element (21) having a plurality of radial air passages (22).

Abstract: A seal assembly including a first rigid shield having an annular sealing member of elastomeric material, and a second rigid shield mounted facing the first and having respective sliding surfaces for a first and second annular sealing lip of the annular sealing member, which extend towards the second rigid shield to exert axial sealing pressure and radial sealing pressure, respectively; wherein the first annular sealing lip has a radial seat facing the opposite way to the second annular sealing lip and housing a toroidal spring, which exerts a radial thrust on the first annular sealing lip eccentrically with respect to an elastic hinge defined by a root portion common to the first and second annular sealing lip, and having a centre of rotation located along a line extending through a V-shaped sealing edge of the first annular sealing lip and forming a 20° to 60° angle with a radial plane; the root portion being defined between two opposite annular recesses of the annular sealing member, which have a U-shaped r
