Shield for a bearing, bearing and method of assembling a shield in a bearing

Abstract

The present disclosure provides a shield for a bearing. The shield has a crimp structure extending from a body of the shield. The crimp structure includes a shoulder contact portion for contacting an outer surface of a shoulder of a bearing ring and a curled portion coupled to the shoulder contact portion. The curled portion has an end close to the shoulder contact portion. A cross-section of the curled portion has a curled shape. A bearing includes the shield and a method of assembling the shield into a bearing. The shield can be more firmly assembled in the bearing, and the shield will not loosen or fall off even in the event of vibration, impact, or thermal cycles occurring on the bearing. At the same time, the bearing can be provided with a larger internal space and the risk of radial deformation of the bearing can be reduced.
