Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
The bearing provides an outer ring, an inner ring, at least one seal fixed to one of the rings and cooperating with the other ring, and at least one sealing flange fixed on the other ring. Flange is at least partly elastically deformable in the axial direction. Flange is axially mounted in contact against an outer lateral face of the seal. At least one local deformation is provided to the sealing flange to support elastically deformation of the flange. The sealing flange further provides at least one protrusion that axially extends beyond the local deformation.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A bearing comprising: an inner ring, an outer ring, at least one seal fixed to one of the rings and cooperating with the other ring, and at least one sealing flange fixed on the other ring, wherein the sealing flange is at least partly elastically deformable in the axial direction and is axially mounted in contact against a lateral face of the seal, at least one local deformation is provided on the sealing flange to support elastically deformation of the flange, the flange further comprising at least one protrusion that axially extends beyond the local deformation. 2. The bearing according to claim 1 , wherein the sealing flange further comprises a fixing portion for joining of the flange to the other ring. 3. The bearing according to claim 2 , wherein the protrusion is provided on the fixing portion of the sealing flange. 4. The bearing according to claim 2 , wherein the fixing portion of the sealing flange is axially mounted in contact against a front surface of the other ring. 5. The bearing according to claim 2 , wherein the sealing flange further comprises a connecting portion connecting the fixing portion and a support portion axially mounted axially in contact with an outer lateral face of seal, the connecting portion being at least elastically deformable in the axial direction. 6. The bearing according to the claim 5 , wherein the local deformation is provided on the connecting portion of the sealing flange. 7. The bearing according to claim 1 , wherein the local deformation and the protrusion extend towards the exterior of bearing. 8. The bearing according to claim 1 , wherein the protrusion is integral with the sealing flange. 9. The bearing according to claim 1 , wherein the protrusion has an annular shape. 10. The bearing according to claim 1 , wherein the sealing flange is axially deformed by the axial contact with the seal.
