Abstract
The invention relates to a seal arrangement for sealing off at least one radial interspace between at least one bearing ring which can rotate and at least one rotationally fixed bearing ring. The seal arrangement is provided with at least a first carrier, the first carrier carrying at least one resilient seal and being fixed to a rotationally fixed bearing ring, and a second carrier, the second carrier being fixed to the bearing ring that can rotate and carrying at least one encoder. The encoder has an outwardly oriented circumferential surface in the shape of a truncated circular cone.
Claims21
A seal arrangement which seals off at least one radial interspace between a rotatable bearing ring and a rotationally fixed bearing ring, the seal arrangement comprising:
- a first carrier, the first carrier carrying a resilient seal and being fixed to said rotationally fixed bearing ring;
- a second carrier, the second carrier being fixed to the rotatable bearing ring and carrying an encoder, the encoder having an outwardly oriented circumferential surface which defines a truncated circular cone;
- and
- a dirt deflector, the dirt deflector and the first carrier being arranged such that they can rotate relative to each other such that the seal bears at least on the dirt deflector, the encoder being arranged outside the interspace and around the rotatable bearing ring.
