  • Seal and a Rolling Bearing including the Seal
    Publication number: 20110135231
    Abstract: A seal is for a rolling bearing including inner and outer rings relatively rotatable about an axis. The seal includes a generally annular body having a radial portion with inner and outer ends. A static sealing portion at least partially surrounds one of the inner and outer ends of the body radial portion and is configured to form a static seal with a proximal one of the bearing inner and outer rings. A dynamic sealing rim extends generally axially from the other one of the inner and outer ends of the body radial portion, the rim being configured to form a dynamic seal with the other one of the bearing inner and outer rings and being spaced radially from the other one of the inner and outer rings so as to define an annular space for receiving a lubricant.
