  • Publication number: 20090206553
    Abstract: A sealing device (1) formed by combining an inner peripheral sealing member (2) and an outer peripheral sealing member (3), where the inner peripheral sealing member (2) such as a slinger member is prevented from falling out in axially one direction from the outer peripheral sealing member (3) such as a lip seal member. The inner peripheral sealing member (2) has a metal ring (4) provided with a tubular section (4a) and a radially rising section (4b) integrally formed with the tubular section (4a) and extending radially outward from one end of the tubular section (4a). The outer peripheral sealing member (3) has side lips (7e, 7f) in slidable intimate contact with the radially rising section (4b) of the metal ring (4), and also has a radial lip (7g) provided without contact, on the outer peripheral side of the tubular section (4a) of the metal ring (4).

  • Patent number: 6953193
    Abstract: To reduce a sliding resistance to the rotation member, and whereby to reduce a torque, a thickness of an inner diameter side lip is formed to be larger than a thickness of an outer diameter side lip, and the outer diameter side lip is formed thinner than the inner diameter side lip in thickness. A depression for inhibiting both the lips from pulling at each other is provided between the inner diameter side lip and the grease lip. A bent portion for reducing a close contact load applied to a rotation member is provided in an intermediate portion in a longitudinal direction of the inner diameter side lip.
