Abstract: A sealing device which is fitted between the outer and inner races of a bearing has a sealing lip portion comprised of a first sealing lip positioned closer to the outer side of the bearing which is exposed to the atmosphere and a second sealing lip positioned closer to the interior of the bearing which is to be filled with oil. Both the first and second sealing lips are respectively provided with first and second sealing portions each of which is formed by the intersection between a first inclined surface inclined with respect to the axis of rotation of the bearing in such a manner that the degree of inclination thereof increases toward the outer side of the bearing and a second inclined surface inclined with respect to the axis of rotation of the bearing in such a manner that the degree of inclination thereof increases toward the interior of the bearing.

Abstract: A bearing housing (3) encloses a bearing (2) for a shaft (1). The bearing is mounted on the shaft by a clamping sleeve (4) with a longitudinal slit and two flanges (5, 6) one on each side of the bearing. The flanges, which are axially fixed on the sleeve, are parts of mounting and dismounting means for a bearing. The bearing space is sealed by sealing members which surround the flanges and have lips (12, 13) contacting the outer surfaces of said flanges. Resilient sealing rings (10, 11) are arranged between the flanges and the inner ring of the bearing. The sealing arrangement allows the use of a slitted clamping sleeve and axial displacement of the bearing on the shaft (1) during mounting.

Flinger rings are carried on the ends of the inner race ring axially outward of the shoulder and each has a first circumferentially continuous flange portion which extends radially at a location axially outwardly of the outer race ring. A second flange portion extends from the first flange portion axially inward into engagement with the associated circumferential shoulder to limit axial movement of the flinger ring member during assembly and use. Carried by the outer race ring at locations axially inward of each flinger ring is a seal ring having a circumferentially continuous web which terminates in a free end portion carrying a resilient seal member.

Abstract: A spring ring is arranged in an annular gap of a pair of outer bearing rings in an arrangement for fastening a rolling bearing in the bore of a housing. A groove is provided in the housing for receiving the spring ring. A holding ring is mounted on the outer surface of the bearing outer ring, the holding ring having a collar aligned to hold the spring ring within the annular gap during the disassembled condition of the bearing. The holding ring has an axial surface adapted to engage the end of the housing during assembly, to enable the holding ring to be forced axially along the outer surface of the bearing outer ring. The holding ring futher has an end away from the spring ring adapted to form a seal with the bearing inner ring.

The inner lip of the sealing plate cooperates with the inner shoulder of the seal groove to form an inner sealing portion between the inner lip and the inner shoulder. The outer lip of the sealing plate cooperates with the outer shoulder of the seal groove to form an outer sealing portion between the outer lip and the outer shoulder.
