Abstract: A housing element for food applications having a casing made of metallic material and a cover made of composite material and having a bottom surface which is closed or provided with a through-hole. The housing element is provided with a system for securing the cover on the casing, comprising at least two steps which are formed on the cover and which engage with interference inside at least two corresponding grooves formed on the casing.

Abstract: Small cross-section bearing unit having a flanged outer ring, an inner ring coaxial with the outer ring and an axis of rotation, a plurality of rolling elements arranged between the inner ring and the outer ring so as to allow the relative rotation thereof about the axis, and a sealing device for preventing the entry of contaminants and, at the same, time, for preventing the leakage of a lubricating grease from the inside of the bearing unit; the sealing device being provided, on each side of the bearing unit, with a shaped sealing screen that is supported rotatably about the axis by the outer ring, and a labyrinth seal extending along a respective complex winding path defined by an associated sealing screen and by the inner ring.

Abstract: A bearing unit for agricultural use, the bearing unit comprising: a rolling bearing, a housing body for the rolling bearing, and a sealing device for preventing the entry into the rolling bearing of contaminants. The sealing device in turn having, at least on one side of the rolling bearing, a first sealing level defined by at least one sliding-contact sealing lip and a second sealing level arranged in series with the first sealing level along an axis of symmetry of the rolling bearing. The sealing device defining a labyrinth for preventing the entry of contaminants into the first sealing level.

Abstract: A sealing device for a rolling bearing having two annular screens constrained to the rings of the rolling bearing. Each annular screen having a respective seal made of an elastomer and provided with a respective first and second number of non-contacting annular sealing lips arranged obliquely with respect to an axis of symmetry of the sealing device that extend away from the axis of symmetry and define between them a winding path to hinder any entry of washing liquids or other impurities into the rolling bearing and facilitate at the same time the expulsion of washing liquids or other impurities which may have infiltrated along the path.

Abstract: A sealing system for food applications that provides a housing element with two or more bolts and respective holes for clamping. A flanged element is clamped to a frame of a machine, and a rubber seal placed along the base perimeter of the housing element. The seal includes a first portion of the rubber profile placed in the areas distant from the holes and a second portion of the rubber profile adjacent to the holes. The rubber profile of the second portion has a larger cross section than that of the first portion, such that the deformations of the rubber profile are made virtually uniform to prevent the formation of fractures, and therefore of bacteria traps, in the rubber.

Abstract: Bearing housing including a housing element designed to be adapted to receive internally a bearing, and a fastening base or flange to a frame of machinery provided with through holes for screws or bolts and having a shoulder face intended to go into use in contact against the frame of the machine equipment, the face of the shoulder being traversed by through holes. The housing element is made of a synthetic molded plastic material and the base or flange has its shoulder face covered by a layer of elastomeric material which has been molded integrally fixed in one piece with the base or flange.

Abstract: A sealing device for a rolling bearing having two annular screens constrained to the rings of the rolling bearing. Each annular screen having a respective seal made of an elastomer and provided with a respective first and second number of non-contacting annular sealing lips arranged obliquely with respect to an axis of symmetry of the sealing device that extend away from the axis of symmetry and define between them a winding path to hinder any entry of washing liquids or other impurities into the rolling bearing and facilitate at the same time the expulsion of washing liquids or other impurities which may have infiltrated along the path.

Abstract: A supporting assembly including a bearing, a bearing housing having an annular element housing and a base for fixing, and a cover for close fluid tight an opening of the housing element; the cover being cup-shaped and including an annular coupling portion to a radially outer lateral surface for housing the annular element. The coupling portion provided radially on the inside with at least a pair of teeth projecting radially towards the inside of the lid; the lateral surface of the annular element housing provided with an annular seat for the teeth of the lid, including: an annular groove disposed axially spaced with respect to a front edge of the housing element; axial grooves equal to the number of teeth present and that radially interrupt the front edge; and a bottom wall provided with a plurality of alternating troughs and projections arranged offset circumferentially with respect to the axial grooves.

Abstract: A sealing device including a first annular shield fixable to a first ring, a second annular shield facing the first and fixable to a second ring. A first shield annular sliding sealing lip cooperating with the second ring. At least first and second annular non-contacting sealing lips of the second shield. The first non-contacting lip includes a first portion extending in projection, and a second end extending axially and radially projecting from the first portion; being tapered towards a free end thereof, axially away from the first ring, which come into contact axially when the first annular lip is bent towards the first shield. The second non-contacting lip extends axially projecting from the first shield from the same side as the second portion of the first lip and beyond it and forms towards the first lip an annular collecting channel of possible contaminants which pass beyond the first annular lip.
