A rolling bearing includes an outer ring, an inner ring, a plurality of rolling bodies, and a seal member. An outer peripheral portion of the seal member is fixed by a retaining ring to a groove portion formed on an inner peripheral surface of the outer ring and an inner peripheral portion of the seal member is elastically deformable. The seal member includes an inclined portion. 1≤Ts/Sct≤10 is satisfied when Ts is a circumferential gap of the retaining ring at a time when the seal member and the retaining ring are attached to the groove portion of the outer ring and Sct is an axial thickness of a part of the seal member in contact with the retaining ring.

A rolling bearing includes an outer ring, an inner ring, a plurality of rolling bodies, and a seal member. An outer peripheral portion of the seal member is fixed by a retaining ring to a groove portion formed on an inner peripheral surface of the outer ring and an inner peripheral portion of the seal member is elastically deformable. The seal member includes an inclined portion. The seal member satisfies 0.25≤Skn/Skt≤2.5 when Skn is a radial length from an inclination start part of the inclined portion on an inside in an axial direction to an outermost diameter position of a part of contact of the seal member with an outer peripheral surface of the inner ring and Skt is a thickness of the inclined portion in a direction perpendicular to an inclination direction.

When the compressed air is not applied, an inclined surface, which is positioned at an upstream side with respect to the supply direction of the compressed air, of the lip part is in contact with the inclined surface of the inner ring. When the compressed air is applied, a contact area between the inclined surface, which is positioned at the upstream side with respect to the supply direction of the compressed air, of the lip part and the inclined surface of the inner ring becomes smaller, as compared to when the compressed air is not applied.

An inner ring assembly for a bearing includes a bearing annular body disposable about the shaft and having a bearing inner race and a plurality of slotted openings defining a plurality of arcuate mounting tabs, the slotted openings each having a curved inner end and each tab including a substantial recess to reduce stress concentration. An annular locking collar is disposed about and clamps the mounting tabs against the outer surface of the shaft to retain the inner ring. The collar is retained on the ring body by a retainer projection(s) extending outwardly from the mounting tabs and engaging with the collar or a retainer member projecting inwardly from the collar and engaging with one of the mounting tabs. The collar has a gap and a flat outer surface section spaced from the gap to increase the dynamic balance and the flexibility of the collar.

Disclosed is a sealed bearing arrangement that provides at least a bearing with an outer ring and an inner ring, which are rotatable to each other and form a rolling chamber between each other, in which a set of rolling elements. A lubricant is encompassed in the rolling chamber and the rolling chamber is sealed off from an environment by at least one sealing element. The inner ring, the outer ring and/or the sealing element includes at least one opening for providing a fluid passage through the sealing element. The bearing is arranged in a housing that is adapted to seal off the bearing from an outside environment. A lubricant is encompassed inside the housing. The housing including the at least one opening for providing a fluid passage from the inside of the housing to the outside. The opening is fluid tightly connected to an oxygen removing element and/or to a gas tank, which provides an oxygen poor to free fluid flow to the rolling chamber.

A Pulley device for a tensioning or winding roller for a transmission element including a pulley, and a rolling bearing provided with a rotating outer ring, the pulley being mounted on an outer surface of the outer ring, a fixed inner ring, the rings being coaxial and forming a radial space between them, and at least one row of rolling elements arranged in the radial space. The pulley device further includes at least one annular protection flange with a radial body. The flange is fixed to the rotating outer ring by crimping an axially protruding portion of the pulley towards an outer edge of the flange.

A rolling bearing has an inner and an outer bearing ring. Each bearing ring has an inner and an outer shell surface. The roller bearing has rolling elements, which roll on raceways provided on the respective shell surfaces of the bearing rings, and a sealing disc connected to one of the bearing rings and operatively connected in a sealing manner to the other bearing ring. To connect the sealing disc to the bearing ring, one of the shell surfaces of the one bearing ring includes a first connecting means and the sealing disc includes a second connecting means. The first connecting means provide a rotating engagement in which the second connecting means engage in a connected state of the bearing ring and the sealing disc.

A rolling bearing includes: an outer ring including an outer ring raceway surface on an inner peripheral surface; an inner ring including an inner ring raceway surface on an outer peripheral surface; a plurality of rolling elements rotatably arranged between the outer ring raceway surface and the inner ring raceway surface; and a sealing member fixed to a seal mounting groove formed on an axial end portion of the outer ring by a retaining ring, the sealing member sealing an axial end portion of a bearing internal space between the outer ring and the inner ring. The sealing member includes a protruding portion at a radial outer end portion, and an outer diameter of the sealing member is larger than an outer diameter of the retaining ring in the seal mounting groove.

A seal assembly for sealing a grease lubricated large rolling-element bearing includes a radial shaft seal having at least one seal lip configured to sealingly abut against a shaft to seal a bearing interior and substantially prevent a grease discharge from the bearing and a grease flow regulation device, such as an annular pumping ring, for regulating a grease pressure at the at least one seal lip, the grease flow regulation device being mounted adjacent to the radial shaft seal at a side of the radial shaft seal that is intended to face the bearing interior in an installed state.

A bearing seal provides a first sealing member to be secured to a shoulder on one side of a first bearing ring and a second sealing member that can be secured to a shoulder on the same side of a second bearing ring. A labyrinth seal gap is formed between the first sealing member and the second sealing member, which has at least one tooth-shaped turn. On the basis of the above bearing seal, the present invention further provides a rolling bearing that employs the bearing seal on an axial side thereof.
