Abstract:
A seal for a bearing includes an annular retaining ring defining a first radially innermost portion and a first radially outer end; and a resilient ring defining a second radially innermost portion and a second radially outer end. The first radially innermost portion and the second radially innermost portion are aligned with one another and together define a securing root of the seal. The root is adapted to seat in a groove of an inner ring of the bearing. The resilient ring projects radially outward from the annular retaining ring. The resilient ring is more flexible than the annular retaining ring. The second radially outer end defines a sealing surface adapted to slidingly engage an inner bearing surface of an outer ring of the bearing. The first radially outer end of the retaining ring terminates between the first radially innermost portion and the second radially outer end of the resilient ring.
