Abstract
Sealed roller bearing with a plastic jacket, in which this jacket, continuing in the radial direction on at least one side of the roller bearing, is designed to form a seal by way of at least one ring lip with a shaft or the like, characterized in that the seal has annular grooves extending axially on both sides of the radial side surfaces, and in that at least one edge area in the transition from the bore surface to the radial side surfaces is designed as a tilting edge, which lifts the ring lip radially from the sealing surface during axial displacement.
Claims2
Sealed roller bearing with a plastic jacket (5), adapted to form a seal (6) with a shaft (9) or the like, characterized in that the seal (6) has a bore surface (10) circumscribing the shaft and radially projecting circumferentially extending ring lips adjacent opposite axial ends of the bore surface having a diameter slightly less than the diameter of the shaft (9), said seal having radial side surfaces 11 and annular grooves (14) extending axially on both sides of the radial side surfaces (11) closely spaced to one another to form a hinge connection permitting a tilting action during assembly of the seal, one of said ring lips functioning as a tilting edge (12), which lifts the other ring lip radially from the sealing surface (8) of the shaft during axial displacement.
Sealed roller bearing with a plastic jacket (5), adapted to form a seal (6) with a shaft (9) or the like, characterized in that the seal (6) has a bore surface (10) circumscribing the shaft and at least one radially projecting circumferentially extending ring lip (7) located between opposite axial ends of the bore surface and having a diameter slightly less than the diameter of the shaft (9), the diameter of said bore surface being slightly greater than the diameter of the shaft surface, said seal having radial side surfaces 11 and annular grooves (14) extending axially on both sides of the radial side surfaces (11) closely spaced to one another to form a hinge connection permitting a tilting action during assembly of the seal, the bore surface and radial side surface (11) defining sharp edges on either side of said ring lip 7 which function as tilting edges (12), said ring lip radially from the sealing surface (8) of the shaft during axial displacement.
