A rolling-element bearing for a device lubricated with a fluid includes first and second bearing rings defining an interior therebetween in which rolling elements support the first ring for rotation relative to the second ring. A pumping device is located at the interior for pumping the fluid into and/or out of the interior when an element of the rolling-element bearing rotates and the rolling-element bearing is at least partially submerged in the fluid. The pumping device may be a ring having vanes that is attached to the first bearing ring or to a cage of the bearing.

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 support assembly for movable, rotating or sliding shafts, having a bearing unit having an inner ring, an outer ring, and a row of rolling bodies interposed between the inner and outer rings, a casing, a cover for fluid sealing an opening of an internal seat of the casing, a rear sealing device on a side opposite the cover having a metal screen and a vulcanized rubber liner equipped with an axially outer first sealing lip and with an axially inner second sealing lip, an axially inner sealing device, having a first shield provided with a vulcanized rubber liner having a plurality of sealing lips, the outer ring having a step extending axially inward and provided with a second shield having a vulcanized rubber liner with a plurality of sealing lips.

A bearing unit having a stationary radially outer ring, a radially inner ring, rotatable with respect to a rotation axis (X) and steadily connected to a rotating shaft, a row of rolling bodies interposed between the radially outer ring and the radially inner ring, a casing, inside which the rings of the bearing unit are housed, a sealing device, and a protection disk. The protection disk may be mounted in an axially external position to the sealing device and fixed to the radially inner ring. Additionally, the protection disk may have a shaped metallic screen, and an elastomer coating over-molded on part of the screen. The protection disk may further be in contact with an axially external surface of the radially outer ring through the elastomer coating, which is provided with two lips, a first lip, non-contacting or contacting and radially external, and a second lip, contacting and radially internal.

A sealing device has two sealing members. A first sealing member has a cylindrical mounted part adapted to be mounted to an outer member and an annular part extending radially inward from the cylindrical mounted part toward the inner member. A second sealing member has a sleeve adapted to be mounted to an inner member, a flange extending radially outward from the sleeve, and a cylindrical protruding portion made from an elastic material extending along the axial direction from the flange. Multiple retaining protrusions are formed on the inner peripheral surface of the cylindrical mounted part of the first sealing member are arranged at intervals in a circumferential direction. On the outer peripheral surface of the cylindrical protruding portion of the second sealing member, circumferential groove extending continuously in a circumferential direction is formed, within which the retaining protrusions are placed.

A rolling-element bearing unit for a wheel bearing assembly of a vehicle includes a first rolling-element bearing having an outer bearing ring and an inner bearing ring and rolling elements disposed between the outer bearing ring and the inner bearing ring and a first seal element having a seal-element base body having a first support member mounted to an axial outer surface of the inner bearing ring and a first seal lip pressed against a radial end surface of the outer bearing ring to hold the outer bearing ring in position relative to the inner bearing ring. Also a wheel bearing assembly including two such rolling element bearing units.

A surface of a bearing member on a flow passage forming chamber-side is disposed to be exposed to the chamber. The bearing member includes a contact part, with which a side surface of a butterfly valve that is opposed to the bearing member is in contact, on at least a part of the surface of the bearing member on the chamber-side. The bearing member is a radial ball bearing and includes an outer bearing ring that is fitted to an inner periphery of a shaft hole, so that its axial displacement relative to a body is restricted, an inner bearing ring that is fitted on an outer periphery of a rotation shaft radially inward of the outer bearing ring, and a rolling element disposed between the outer bearing ring and the inner bearing ring. The contact part is provided on a surface of the inner bearing ring on the chamber-side.

A secondary sealing device is for a wheel bearing assembly including a fixed inner axle with an outer circumferential surface and a bearing inner race, an outer hub rotatable about the inner axle and having an inner circumferential surface and a bearing outer race, rolling elements disposed between the inner and outer races, and a primary seal(s) connected with the inner axle and sealingly engaged with the outer hub. The secondary sealing device includes a rigid annular body having an inner radial end coupled with the inner axle and an outer radial end spaced radially inwardly from the inner circumferential surface of the outer hub so as to define an annular gap between the body and the outer ring. The body is located between the primary seal and an axial end of the hub so as to provide a barrier configured to prevent contaminants from contacting the primary seal.

Provided is a magnetic fluid sealed bearing with which torque can be reduced without impairing a water and dust proof effect. A magnetic fluid sealed bearing according to the present disclosure includes a magnetic fluid retained by a ring-shaped magnet in an opening between an inner ring and an outer ring to seal a plurality of rolling members. The magnet is magnetized such that their magnetic poles point to an axial direction. The bearing further includes a ring-shaped outer polar plate and a ring-shaped inner polar plate sandwiching the ring-shaped magnet therebetween, one side of the polar plates being fixed to one of the inner ring and the outer ring, and the other side of the polar plates facing a clearance.

A sealing device for insertion between a first and a second bearing part. The device including a rotating first shield, a stationary second shield, and an elastomeric sealing element having a first and a second sealing lip. The first shield includes a peripheral section having a first and a second axially extending sleeve portion connected by a first radially extending flange portion. The second shield including a support section for the lips, having an intermediate frustoconical portion that connects a second flange portion of the peripheral section to a mounting section of the second shield. The intermediate portion is positioned axially at a step formed by the first flange portion and by the first sleeve portion. The mounting section is arranged partially inside the second sleeve portion to form an axially directed labyrinth seal that is in metal-to-metal contact with the second bearing.
