Publication number: 20130127119Abstract: A sealing assembly for sealing a rolling bearing, between a first and a second bearing part, where the two bearing parts are rotatable relative to each other and form therebetween both an axial space and a radial space. The sealing assembly includes: A contact member having a mounting section for attachment and a ring-shaped contact section for positioning the contact member on the second bearing part, and a carrier mountable to the first bearing part and has an elastic member forming a first axial sealing lip and/or a radial sealing lip. The contact member and a radially extending portion of the second bearing part together form a first collecting channel, and that an opening leading into the first collecting channel should be at least partially defined by an end section of the contact member.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 31, 2011Publication date: May 23, 2013Applicant: Schaeffler Technologies AG & Co.

Publication number: 20120207417Abstract: A sealing ring for sealing a rolling chamber of a rolling bearing, which has a supporting part that is fixed to a first bearing part and retains an elastic part. The sealing ring seals the roiling chamber by a radial or axial sealing lip on the elastic part. The sealing ring lies between the first bearing part and a second bearing part that is rotatable relative to the first bearing part or lies between the first bearing part and another component fixed to the second bearing part and moveable relative to the first bearing part. A ring of lubricant is applied, formed and retained by an annular groove in a sealing lip and by the second bearing part or by the component. The ring of lubricant can also be shaped so that the ring of lubricant closes a gap between the sealing lip and the second bearing part or the components.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 23, 2010Publication date: August 16, 2012Applicant: SCHAEFFLER TECHNOLOGIES AG & CO.

Publication number: 20110197659Abstract: An overall leakage rate of a vacuum system which can be operated continuously or cyclically is determined. The vacuum system includes at least one process chamber (10) and a pumping device (16) connected to the process chamber (10). In a cyclical leakage rate determination technique, the following steps are taken: suppressing a process gas feed to the process chamber (10), feeding a carrier gas to the process chamber (10), conveying the carrier gas and a leakage gas using the pumping device (16), measuring an amount of a gas component in the pumped gas, and determining the overall leakage rate of the vacuum system based on the measured amount of the gas component.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 5, 2009Publication date: August 18, 2011Applicant: OERLIKON LEYBOLD VACUUM GMBHInventors: Thomas Palten, Gerhard Wilhelm Walter, Damian Ehrensperger

Patent number: 7997316Abstract: A seal arrangement for a tire pressure-regulating device for a motor vehicle, which provides a compressed-air supply to a tire of a vehicle through a hole in an inner ring of a rolling bearing of a wheel bearing, through a seal housing which is connected to a wheel hub in a rotationally fixed manner, and through the wheel hub itself. A flat seal is fixed on the inner ring of the rolling bearing and the radially outer end of the seal has a sealing lip which is directed towards the seal housing and bears against it.Type: GrantFiled: January 18, 2007Date of Patent: August 16, 2011Assignee: Schaeffler KGInventors: Wilhelm Walter, Robert Heuberger, Marc-Andre Schaefer

Publication number: 20110148182Abstract: A steering knuckle, which is provided for receiving an outer ring of a wheel bearing, and a wheel bearing arrangement with such a steering knuckle. The sealing arrangements of the wheel bearing has a pre-seal, which is designed as a labyrinth seal to provide sealing for an appropriate gap geometry. To this end, the steering knuckle has a collecting channel, which captures liquids and dirt particles and discharges them at the periphery. The hearing seal can be changed by this measure, so that savings are possible with a minimum of sealing action of the conventional sealing arrangement and with greatly reduced friction torque. Overall, the sealing action, which is now achieved by the bearing seal and the pre-seal together, is increased or remains at least at the same level while manufacturing costs are reduced.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 14, 2009Publication date: June 23, 2011Applicant: SCHAEFFLER TECHNOLOGIES GMBH & CO. KGInventors: Wilhelm Walter, Erwin Hartman

Publication number: 20110150380Abstract: A seal arrangement with a centrifugal ring for a sealing between a rotatable bearing part and a static bearing part. The centrifugal ring has a first end piece, which forms both an outer circumference of the centrifugal ring and a cutoff edge located on a disk-shaped outer face. The seal arrangement reduces the coefficient of friction without having to accept any loss of sealing effect, but in which the seal arrangement nevertheless remains cost-effective to manufacture. For this purpose, the centrifugal ring has a second end piece. The end pieces together form a first collecting channel in the vicinity of the cutoff edge and the end pieces each form an annular seal gap with a static bearing part.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 20, 2010Publication date: June 23, 2011Applicant: SCHAEFFLER TECHNOLOGIES GMBH & CO. KGInventors: Wilhelm WALTER, Erwin HARTMANN

Publication number: 20110044569Abstract: A compact cassette seal and a corresponding wheel hearing for a passenger car or truck. The cassette seal has a bent sheet-metal ring which is and/or can be non-rotatably connected to a radially inner component and an annular sealing system which is non-rotatably connected to a radially outer component. The sealing system has a bearing ring and a radially peripheral seal with at least one sealing lip. The seal is secured to the bearing ring and the sealing lips resting on the bent sheet-metal ring in a sealing manner. A radially outer ring end section of the sealing system defines a labyrinth seal with a bent sheet-metal section of the bent sheet-metal ring. The bent sheet-metal section radially overlaps the ring end section on the exterior thereby forming an axially aligned or substantially axially aligned labyrinth seal section of the labyrinth seal.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 12, 2008Publication date: February 24, 2011Applicant: SCHAEFFLER TECHNOLOGIES GMBH & CO.
