A thrust bearing for suspension systems includes an upper element, a lower element, a bearing disposed between the upper element and the lower element, a primary sealing part and a secondary sealing part. The upper element includes a circumferentially formed contact surface with a joining point. The primary sealing part contacts the upper element and the lower element in an outer opening formed on a radial outside of the bearing. The primary sealing part has a joining surface joined to the contact surface and an area increase element joined to the joining point. The secondary sealing part contacts the upper element and the lower element in an inner opening formed on a radial inside of the bearing.

A rolling-element bearing includes first and second concentric ring assemblies mounted for relative rotation. The first ring assembly includes a first rolling ring and a first sealing ring supporting first and second seal elements each having a lip. The second ring assembly includes a second rolling ring and a second sealing ring contacted by the lips of the first and second seal elements. The first sealing ring includes a first sealing member radially spaced from the first seal element and a first leakage test channel having an inlet between the first sealing member and the first seal element and an outlet at an external surface of the first sealing ring, and/or the second sealing ring includes second and third sealing members and a second leakage test channel having an inlet between the second and third sealing members and an outlet at an external surface of the second sealing ring.

A sealing device has a first sealing member and a second sealing member. The first sealing member has a cylindrical part mounted on an outer member, and a lip. The second sealing member has a sleeve into which an inner member is fitted, and a flange extending radially outward. The flange has a rigid flange portion connected to the sleeve, and a circular annular elastic flange portion that adheres to the rigid flange portion. An annular protrusion is formed on an inner periphery of the elastic flange portion, and is in contact with an outer peripheral surface of the inner member. In an initial state, the inner peripheral surface of the protrusion has a cylindrical portion having an inner diameter that is less than that of the sleeve. The cylindrical portion has a length of at least 0.15 mm in the initial state.

A bearing seat assembly for a roller assembly includes a bearing seat; a bearing, arranged inside the bearing seat; a first seal, including at least two sealing lips. The first seal is installed on the bearing seat and is arranged on a first axial outer side of the bearing. At least one sealing lip of the at least two sealing lips of the first seal is arranged around the inner or outer circumference of the first seal. The bearing seat assembly according to the present disclosure realizes enhanced sealing, avoids re-lubrication, improves thermal performance, and prolongs service life.

A rolling bearing includes an inner ring, an outer ring, a plurality of balls, a cage, and sealing devices. An action that forces grease from one axial side to the other axial side occurs in an annular space. The cage includes an annular body provided on one axial side, and a plurality of cage prongs provided so as to extend from the annular body to the other axial side. Cage pockets that house the balls are each formed on the other axial side of the annular body and between the cage prongs adjacent to each other in a circumferential direction. The cage pockets are open to the other axial side.

A bearing assembly includes a housing having a flange at a first axial side and a bearing attachment section at a second axial side and a rolling-element bearing having inner and outer rings and a plurality of rolling elements. The rings are sealed on first and second axial sides by first and second seal disks, and the outer ring is pivotably mounted in the attachment section of the housing and the inner ring is configured to be mounted on a shaft. The assembly also includes a seal assembly configured to form a seal between the flange and the shaft at the first axial side of the housing, an end cover, an O-ring compressed between the second axial side of the housing and the end cover and at least one seal barrier between the seal assembly and the first seal disk and/or between the cover and the second seal disk.

A bearing assembly engaged with an end of a rotatable shaft. The assembly includes a hub defining a first bore extending between a first opening at a first end of the hub and a second opening at a second end of the hub. A bearing sleeve engaged in the first bore defines a second bore. The shaft's end is inserted through a first opening in the second bore. A sealed bearing located between the bearing sleeve and the hub's interior surface enables relative rotation therebetween. A first sealing mechanism seals the first bore's first opening and a second sealing mechanism seals the second openings of both of the first and second bores. The first sealing mechanism includes an L-shaped ring circumscribing the bearing sleeve and a rubber sealing member. The second sealing mechanism includes a hemispherical region and flange secured to the hub by a retaining ring.

A bearing assembly for a vehicle includes an inner race having an interior surface and an exterior surface, an outer race having an interior surface and an exterior surface, a first sealing member disposed between the inner race and the outer race, the first sealing member having a sealing surface adjacent to the interior surface of the outer race, and a second sealing member disposed radially inward of the first sealing member and adjacent to a shoulder surface of the outer race, wherein the first sealing member permits grease bleed-off from the bearing prior to the first sealing member setting against the second sealing member.

A combination bearing and seal assembly includes a tubular outer body connectable with an outer member and having first and second axial ends, opposing inner and outer surfaces and a bearing outer raceway on the outer body inner surface. A tubular inner body is disposed within an outer body bore and is disposeable about and coupleable with the rotatable member. The inner body has inner and outer surfaces, opposing outer and inner axial ends, the inner axial end providing a generally radial seal contact surface, and a bearing inner raceway on the inner body outer surface. Rolling elements disposed between the outer and inner raceways rotatably couple the outer and inner bodies and form a bearing. An annular seal is within the outer body bore, is coupled with the tubular outer body and has a generally radial sealing surface sealingly engageable with the inner body contact surface.

A rolling bearing includes an inner ring, an outer ring, a plurality of rolling elements, and a cage. A first seal is provided on one side of the annular space between the inner ring and the outer ring in the axial direction and has a first lip portion that forms a first labyrinth clearance with the inner ring to prevent spill of the grease. A second seal is provided on the other side of the annular space in the axial direction and has a second lip portion that forms a second labyrinth clearance with the inner ring to prevent spill of the grease. The second lip portion is larger than the first lip portion such that the path length of the second labyrinth clearance is longer than the path length of the first labyrinth clearance.
