Abstract: A multirow bearing assembly for the roll neck of a working rolling mill in which the bearing is composed of rolling elements between outer and inner members in which the inner members are positioned in axial endwise abutment and are formed with undercut counterbore formations facings the roll neck. The bearing assembly includes sealing components operative in the counterbore cavity formations to exclude water and contaminants getting into the endwise abutment of the inner members. In addition, the sealing components include one or more devices to adjust the effect of the wear on the seal in the event that water and contaminants get into the sealing components.
