<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent degradation of bearing service life by preventing corrosion generated by water or foreign matter gathering at a contact portion between a radial seal lip of a bearing seal portion and an inner race component, in a bearing with flange, particularly, a bearing such as hub unit bearing, rotatably supporting an automotive axle or the like. <P>SOLUTION: A groove is formed between an axial seal lip sliding portion of the bearing seal portion and a radial seal lip sliding-contact portion of the inner ring component. The water or foreign matter that has invaded is received by the groove, so that the radial seal lip is prevented from being brought into contact with water or foreign matter. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT |
