A wheel bearing for aircraft, that has a long service life and is reliable. The wheel bearing has a small number of individual parts and components that are simple to handle, to mount or to dismount. The wheel bearing of an aircraft landing gear has a wheel rim that is rotationally mounted about an axis over two roller bearings of a bearing arrangement. The external rings of the roller bearings are received together in a single-piece external ring bearing housing. The wheel rim can be detachably connected to the bearing arrangement in such a manner that it can be mounted or dismounted independently from the bearing arrangement.

Wheel bearing of an aircraft landing gear

A wheel bearing for aircraft. The bearing has a long service life, is very reliable and consists of the lowest possible number of individual parts. The wheel bearing of an aircraft engine has a rim that is rotatably mounted about an axis by a bearing arrangement which has two rolling bearings. An outer bearing housing, designed as one piece, contains the outer running surfaces of the rolling bearings. An integral component of the outer bearing housing forms part of the rim and the outer bearing housing is detachably connected to the remainder of the rim.

Wheel bearing for an aircraft landing gear

A sealing arrangement which has a long or increased service life and high reliability even in soiled or aggressive surroundings. The sealing arrangement for a bearing has a first bearing ring and second bearing, which is rotatable relative to the first bearing ring, and a seal that is arranged in the region of the first bearing ring and that extends in the direction of the bearing periphery. The second bearing ring has a peripheral scaling surface and the seal has at least two peripheral sealing lips that sealingly rest on the sealing surface.
