  • Patent number: 11913552
    Abstract: A sealing device acts to seal a gap between a housing of a gear reducer and a rotational shaft that bi-directionally rotates, and separates an internal space of the housing in which a grease is stored from an atmosphere side. The sealing device includes a main seal lip protruding radially inward from an inner peripheral surface of an inner cylindrical portion. The main seal lip has an internal-side inclined surface disposed on a side of the internal space and an atmosphere-side inclined surface disposed on the atmosphere side. An auxiliary seal lip protrudes radially inward and toward the internal space from the internal-side inclined surface of the main seal lip. Multiple first spiral structures and multiple second spiral structures are formed on at least one of the atmosphere-side inclined surface of the main seal lip and an inner peripheral surface of the auxiliary seal lip.
