Bearing arrangement comprising an optimized sealing ring with sealing element

A bearing arrangement for a wheel hub of a motor vehicle, said wheel hub is drivable by a rotary joint, in which the wheel hub connected to a wheel flange and the rotary joint connected to a drive shaft are locked in rotation with each other, the bearing arrangement comprising a multiple-row roller bearing mounted on the wheel hub with at least one separate bearing inner ring that is arranged axially on an outside and is directed toward the rotary joint and is pretensioned axially by a collar of the wheel hub acting on an end face of the bearing inner ring, a sealing ring formed of sheet metal contacts the bearing inner ring, the sealing ring comprises a sealing element that forms a sealing contact on the rotary joint, in order to protect an area between the bearing inner ring, the collar, and the rotary joint, the sealing element has a sealing lip provided with a plurality of recesses, the recesses are distributed uniformly on the sealing lip in a circumferential direction and are separated from each other by bars, the recesses each partially define channels that extend to an axial end face of the sealing element, in order to reduce friction between the sealing lip and the rotary joint when the sealing ring is pushed onto the rotary joint.
