  • Patent number: 4080015
    Abstract: A bearing and a method for making the bearing incorporate annular elastomeric seals that are molded within annular edge grooves of an outer race so as to be bonded thereto while in slidable engagement with an outer spherical surface of a bearing element received within the race. The edge grooves of the race preferably have a relatively rough surface finish in relationship to the outer spherical surface of the bearing element so that there is good bonding of the seals to the race as well as good sealing thereof with the bearing element. Two preferred embodiments each incorporate a lining that is bonded to the outer race prior to a swaging operation which locates the race grooves adjacent the outer surface of the bearing element such that the seals are also bonded to annular edges of the lining during molding within the grooves.
