  • Patent number: 8876394
    Abstract: In a rolling bearing with seal, an annular lip supporting portion having a larger thickness than that of a seal lip is formed on an inner periphery side of a seal member; the seal lip protruding on an inner peripheral surface of the lip supporting portion has: a cylindrical seal surface being in close contact with an outer peripheral surface of an inner race; and an inner side surface at least part of which in a region from an inner end of the seal surface to reach the lip supporting portion stands upright from the inner end of the seal surface in a direction perpendicular to a generating line of the outer peripheral surface of the inner race; and a width of the seal surface in an axial direction is set to be larger than a height of the seal lip in a radial direction.

  • Patent number: 8864384
    Abstract: A seal lip having: a cylindrical seal surface in close contact with an outer peripheral surface of an inner race with outer side and inner side surfaces standing upright respectively from an outer end and an inner end of the seal surface and reaching a lip supporting portion of a seal member, and protruding on an inner peripheral surface of the lip supporting portion. The outer side surface is a perpendicular surface standing upright from the outer end of the seal surface in a direction perpendicular to a generating line of the outer peripheral surface of the inner race. The inner side surface includes: a perpendicular surface standing upright from the inner end of the seal surface in parallel with the outer side surface; and a conical surface inclined toward the outer side surface extending outward in a radial direction from an outer peripheral end of the perpendicular surface.
