A seal assembly is for a wheel hub assembly and includes an inner annular case disposable about an axle and having a radial portion extending radially outwardly from the axle. An outer annular case is coupleable with a hub bore and has a radial portion extending radially inwardly from the bore. An annular elastomeric seal member has a base portion disposed on the outer case and at least one flexible axial seal lip with a first end integrally formed with the base portion and a second, free end sealingly engageable with the radial portion of the inner case. The lip extends generally axially and radially outwardly from the first end to the second end such that the lip is biased radially outwardly by centrifugal force during rotation of the hub to reduce sealing pressure of the lip second end on the inner case radial portion.

Seal arrangement and seal element with a high-pressure side flushing function

A seal arrangement includes a first and a second machine part which are arranged spaced apart from one another with the formation of a sealing gap and can be moved relative to one another about a movement axis. A seal element with a base section is arranged on or in a seal holding structure of one of the two machine parts. A sealing head bears in a dynamically sealing manner by way of a sealing section against a sealing surface of the respective other machine part in order to seal a high-pressure side from a low-pressure side. The seal element on the high-pressure side has at least one flow element, wherein during relative movement of the two machine parts fluid on the high-pressure side in the area of the sealing section of flows onto the sealing head.

SEALING DEVICE

A sealing device configured to be mounted on a rolling bearing provided for a wheel bearing device, the wheel bearing device including an axle pipe and a rolling bearing being fitted onto an outer circumferential stepped portion formed on an outer circumference of the axle pipe to rotatably support a wheel, the sealing device being mounted between an outer ring and an inner ring. The sealing device includes a slinger member having a first cylindrical portion, a disk portion, and a second cylindrical portion; a core body member having a cylindrical portion and a disk portion; and a seal body made of an elastic material. An inner circumferential face of a seal body cylindrical portion has an inclined portion constituting a labyrinth of which diameter gradually increases toward one side from the other side in the axial direction between the inner circumferential face and the second cylindrical portion.

EXTERNAL MATERIAL INTRUSION-PROOF SEALING SYSTEM FOR ROLLERS USED IN CONVEYOR BELTS FOR BULK MATERIALS
20220397196 · 2022-12-15 ·

A sealing system which is designed to leverage the centrifugal acceleration of solids and liquids due to the natural rotation of the roller, expelling them outside, preventing most of the contamination from trying to penetrate the roller seals. Excess of contaminants that is not centrifugally expelled is blocked by the following internal sealing system.

SEAL ASSEMBLY WITH SEAL UNIT

A sealing arrangement includes a housing, a shaft and a sealing unit. The sealing unit includes a sealing ring having a retaining section and having a sealing lip which extends outwardly from the retaining section in a direction radial to the central axis of the sealing unit and which dynamically sealingly rests against a sealing surface of a housing of the sealing arrangement. The sealing unit includes an internally tensioning clamping ring which is arranged embedded in the material of the sealing ring and secures the axial position of the retaining section in the retaining groove and ensures that the retaining section is circumferentially pretensioned and statically sealingly rests against the shaft.

SEALING DEVICE

An elastic body includes an annular main body portion to be disposed in an annular gap, a seal lip portion extending from a portion, closer to an object to be sealed, of the main body portion and being to be in contact with an inner member, a flange portion extending outwardly from an end, opposite to the object to be sealed, of the main body portion and including a first side closer to the object to be sealed, the first side being to be in contact with an outer member, a side lip portion extending from the end opposite to the object to be sealed in a direction away from the object to be sealed, and a projecting portion formed circumferentially on a second side, opposite to the object to be sealed, of the flange portion. The side lip portion has a back surface configured to be in contact with the projecting portion in response to the side lip portion being pressed by a mating member disposed opposite to the object to be sealed.

UNITIZED SEAL ASSEMBLY WITH AXIAL POSITIONER
20230066526 · 2023-03-02 ·
