Abstract: A sealing comprises a seal portion and a plate portion fixed to the seal portion. The seal portion can have an undulating configuration of at least one peak and at least one valley, and the plate portion can circumferentially surround the seal portion. The seal portion can be made of a first material and the plate portion can be made of a second material more rigid than the first material. The seal portion can have a radially inward facing contact surface that defines a central opening of the sealing.

Abstract: A method of setting a bearing system is provided, The method includes applying a first set-up load to the bearing system. The method also includes measuring a first set-up clearance value between a cup carrier of at least one of a first tapered roller bearing and a second tapered roller bearings and a housing. The method further includes applying a second set-up load to the bearing system. The method includes measuring a second set-up clearance value between the cup carrier of at least one of the first and second tapered roller bearings and the housing. The method also includes determining a final set-up clearance value between the cup carrier of at least one of the first and second tapered roller bearings and the housing. The method further includes positioning a shim between the cup carrier of at least one of the first and second tapered roller bearings and the housing.
