  • Publication number: 20240019000
    Abstract: A bearing unit includes rolling bodies between radially inner and outer rings and a seal element extending between the rings, the seal element including a metallic shield and an elastomeric coating overmolded on the shield. The coating includes an anchor body mounted in a seat of the outer ring, and the anchor body includes a first anchor lip on an axially inner side of the anchor body contacting the seat of the radially outer ring and a second anchor lip located on an axially outer side of the anchor body contacting and forming a seal at a location on the radially outer ring. A concave radially outwardly facing connecting surface extends from the first anchor lip to the second anchor lip and is configured to reduce a compression of the anchor body when the anchor body is inserted into the seat.

  • Publication number: 20240011563
    Abstract: A sealing assembly for bearings, in particular for use in agriculture, comprising a primary sealing barrier and a secondary sealing barrier, which are arranged in series along a potential path (P) of ingress of contaminants into the bearing, and have, respectively, a first seal and a second seal with a plurality of contact lips. The contact lips of the first and second seal with a plurality of contact lips may be static lips that do not rotate about an axis (A) of rotation of the bearing.

  • Publication number: 20220381294
    Abstract: A sealing assembly for bearings, in particular for use in agriculture, the sealing assembly having a first shield, which extends from an outer surface of the inner ring to an inner surface of the outer ring, and is mounted on the outer surface of the inner ring, and a seal with a plurality of contact lips supported by the first shield, and provided with a predetermined number (N) of contact lips arranged in series axially next to one another. The contact lips may lie, when in a respective pre-assembly configuration, in respective planes (P) inclined with respect to a central axis (A) of the bearing, and may have radial lengths decreasing axially towards the bearing.

  • Publication number: 20210040992
    Abstract: A sealing device for a bearing unit is provided. The sealing device includes a dynamic component, a static component having a shaped metallic support, and a plurality of sealing lips not making contact with the dynamic component and two lips making contact with the dynamic component. A second sealing lip of the non-contacting sealing lips and the dynamic component define a labyrinth seal, and a fixed spoiler arranged along the labyrinth seal for the creation of turbulent motion inside the labyrinth seal to provide a complete sealing action preventing any entry of components inside the bearing unit.
