Abstract
A rolling bearing having high sealing performance and a throttle valve device and an ABS device, which includes such rolling bearing. A metal core with a bent portion extending along a groove surface of the outer circumferential side of a V-shaped groove and an inner peripheral portion which extends in a radial direction beyond the deepest portion of the V-shaped groove toward a central axis from an inner circumferential side end of the bent portion, forms a gap in the radial direction within a region between an end of the inner peripheral portion of the metal core and an outer circumferential surface of an inner ring. The rigidity of an inner circumferential portion of the sealing member is ensured and a lip portion can be prevented from being rolled up by the external pressure.
Claims6
A rolling bearing having a sealing structure in which an annular space between an inner ring and an outer ring is sealed by a pair of annular sealing members disposed to face each other in a central axis direction,
- wherein at least one of the pair of sealing members is composed of a metal core and an elastic member covering an external surface of the metal core, and includes an inner circumferential portion provided with a lip portion contacting an outer circumferential surface of the inner ring and an annular V-shaped groove formed around the central axis in an outer portion of the inner circumferential portion configured by the elastic member, and
- the metal core includes a bent portion extending along an annular groove surface at the outer circumferential side of the V-shaped groove and an inner peripheral portion extending radially beyond a deepest portion of the V-shaped groove from an inner circumferential side end of the bent portion, such that a gap is formed in a radial direction within a region between an end face of the inner peripheral portion and the outer circumferential surface of the inner ring.
