At least one spring element engages in an annular groove of the housing and at least one angled collar supports the bearing ring in an axial manner. The spring element is hook-shaped and forms an angle that extends in a radial manner towards the outside and at least partially back in the axial direction. At least one push element is formed on the securing device, which is actively connected to the spring element in such a manner that the spring element is prestressed in an axial manner, by actuating the push element.

  • Publication number: 20080187262
    Abstract: The invention relates to a sealed radial rolling bearing, in particular a wheel bearing for a motor vehicle, which substantially comprises an outer bearing ring and an inner bearing ring and a plurality of rolling bodies which roll between the bearing rings and are held with uniform spacing relative to one another by means of a bearing cage. Here, in each case one radially arranged sealing element extends between the bearing rings at each side at a distance axially from the rolling bodies, said sealing element having one or more sealing lips which are connected to the outer bearing ring and some into contact with a centrifugal ring which is connected by means of a press fit to the inner bearing ring.
