Abstract
A two-stage sealing arrangement for sealing an annular gap between an outer bearing ring and an inner bearing ring of a rolling-contact bearing, includes a first sealing element securely fixed to the outer bearing ring and having at least one sealing lip supported against the inner bearing ring. A second sealing element is disposed at an axial distance to the first sealing element, thereby defining a circular ring shaped sealing gap in a radial direction for accommodating, at least partially, a sealing material.
Claims21
A sealing arrangement for sealing on both sides of a rolling-contact bearing an annular gap which is defined between an outer bearing ring and an inner bearing ring of the rolling-contact bearing at a distance to rolling elements received between the inner and outer bearing rings, said sealing arrangement comprising:
- a first sealing element securely fixed to the outer bearing ring and having at least one sealing lip supported against the inner bearing ring;
- a second sealing element disposed at an axial distance to the first sealing element for effecting a two-stage sealing action, said first and second sealing elements defining a circular ring shaped sealing gap which extends in a radial direction;
- a sealing material disposed in the sealing gap at least in a partial region thereof;
- and
- an elastic sealing lip disposed in outer surrounding relationship to the second sealing element and supported on an axial outer end surface of the outer bearing ring.
A sealing arrangement for sealing on both sides of a rolling-contact bearing an annular gap which is defined between an outer bearing ring and an inner bearing ring of the rolling-contact bearing at a distance to rolling elements received between the inner and outer bearing rings, said sealing arrangement comprising:
- a first sealing element securely fixed to the outer bearing ring and having at least one sealing lip supported against the inner bearing ring, said first sealing element being securely fixed in an annular groove formed at an axial distance to an end surface of the outer bearing ring and having a sealing lip for support against the inner bearing ring, said first sealing element including a reinforcement extending to an area in close proximity of an outer surface area of the inner bearing ring;
- a second sealing element disposed at an axial distance to the first sealing element for effecting a two-stage sealing action, said first and second sealing elements defining a circular ring shaped sealing gap which extends in a radial direction;
- and
- a sealing material disposed in the sealing gap at least in a partial region thereof,
- wherein the sealing lip has a radial vent groove in the area of support of the sealing lip upon the wall surface.
A sealing arrangement for sealing on both sides of a rolling-contact bearing an annular gap which is defined between an outer bearing ring and an inner bearing ring of the rolling-contact bearing at a distance to rolling elements received between the inner and outer bearing rings, said sealing arrangement comprising:
- a first sealing element securely fixed to the outer bearing ring and having at least one sealing lip supported against the inner bearing ring;
- a second sealing element disposed at an axial distance to the first sealing element for effecting a two-stage sealing action, said first and second sealing elements defining a circular ring shaped sealing gap which extends in a radial direction;
- and
- a sealing material disposed in the sealing gap at least in a partial region thereof, wherein the sealing material is a felt ring.
A sealing arrangement for sealing on both sides of a rolling-contact bearing an annular gap which is defined between an outer bearing ring and inner bearing ring of the rolling-contact bearing at a distance to rolling elements received between the inner and outer bearing rings, said sealing arrangement comprising:
- a first sealing element securely fixed to the outer bearing ring and having at least one sealing lip supported against the inner bearing ring;
- a second sealing element disposed at an axial distance to the first sealing element for effecting a two-stage sealing action, said first and second sealing elements defining a circular ring shaped sealing gap which extends in a radial direction, wherein the second sealing element is a carrier ring of the rolling-contact bearing, with the carrier ring having a terminal collar which radially extends across the annular gap to bound the sealing gap in axial direction together with the first sealing;
- and
- a sealing material disposed in the sealing gap at least in a partial region thereof.
A sealing arrangement for sealing on both sides of a rolling-contact bearing an annular gap which is defined between an outer bearing ring and an inner bearing ring of the rolling-contact bearing at a distance to rolling elements received between the inner and outer bearing rings, said sealing arrangement comprising:
- a first sealing element securely fixed to the outer bearing ring and having at least one sealing lip supported against the inner bearing ring;
- a second sealing element disposed at an axial distance to the first sealing element for effecting a two-stage sealing action, said first and second sealing elements defining a circular ring shaped sealing gap which extends in a radial direction, wherein the second sealing element is a radial shoulder formed on a housing pin for centered disposition of the rolling-contact bearing and positioned at an axial distance to the first sealing element;
- and
- a sealing material disposed in the sealing gap at least in a partial region thereof.
