DOUBLE LIP AXIAL RADIAL BEARING SEAL

摘要

A bearing assembly, including: an axis of rotation; an outer bearing ring; an inner bearing ring; and a seal. The seal includes: an annular-shaped body made of a flexible material and including a radially outermost segment in contact with the outer bearing ring and sealed against the outer bearing ring, a radially innermost segment in contact with a first portion of the inner bearing ring and sealed against the first portion of the inner bearing ring and a lip segment. The lip segment extends from the body in a first axial direction parallel to the axis of rotation, is located between the radially outermost and innermost segments in a radial direction orthogonal to the axis of rotation, and, is in contact with and sealed against a second portion of the inner bearing ring. The seal includes a reinforcing brace at least partially embedded in the body.
