  • Patent number: 11493088
    Abstract: A rolling bearing unit provided with a radially outer ring having an assembly groove, two radially inner rings, two series of rolling elements interposed between the radially outer ring and the radially inner rings and defining between them a first internal grease reservoir. The groove is arranged in an axially intermediate position with respect to the two radially inner rings and a grease dispensing device is housed inside the groove of the radially outer ring and is in turn provided with a second grease reservoir formed inside the radially outer ring and communicating with the first reservoir via the groove. A permeable retaining wall housed is inside the groove so as to retain the grease inside the second reservoir and allow it to flow out towards the first reservoir during operation of the bearing unit, dispensing it in a controlled manner.

  • Patent number: 10330155
    Abstract: A bearing unit provided with a rolling bearing having a radially outer race, two radially inner races, a ring of conical rollers arranged between the radially outer race and the two radially inner races, and a device for retaining grease and metering oil housed inside a groove of the radially outer race and having an annular wall arranged transversely with respect to the rolling bearing and acting as barrier for the flow of grease and provided with a plurality of through-openings for retaining the grease and allowing the oil to pass between the two rings of conical rollers in any operating condition, and also with a plurality of radial vanes engaged with the annular wall for retaining the grease.

  • Patent number: 10267363
    Abstract: A rolling bearing includes a stationary radially outer ring, a groove, at least a rotatable radially inner ring, at least a plurality of rolling bodies, interposed between the radially outer ring and the radially inner ring and a grease dispenser device configured to be accommodated within the groove of the radially outer ring. The dispenser device is further provided with a radially outer crown on which at least a radially inner protrusion is rigidly fixed, the protrusion having a barrier function against a flow of grease.

  • Patent number: 9644681
    Abstract: A sealing arrangement, for sealing of a radial gap between relatively rotatable inner and out components, whereby the inner component is rotational about an axis of rotation and the outer component is coaxially arranged around the inner component. The sealing arrangement comprises: a dynamic seal part mountable to the inner component; a static seal part mountable to the outer component; and first and second labyrinth seals, each being formed by a gap between at least one set of opposing surfaces on the static and dynamic seal parts, and a lip seal arranged radially between the first and second labyrinth seal. The lip seal comprises a sealing lip connected to the dynamic seal part and bears against a radially oriented counterface on the static seal part. The sealing lip has a longitudinal extension in a radial cross section that extends towards the rotation axis at an angle between 10° and 80°.
