A seal for the axial sides of a rolling bearing and being disposed between the inner and outer rings of the bearing. The seal including an axially inward thrust washer and an axially outward sealing washer opposite the thrust washer. The thrust washer is generally C-shaped with a radially inwardly and axially outwardly sloping thrust surface. The sealing washer includes a radial sealing lip which is sloped radially inwardly to seal on the thrust surface of the thrust washer and may include an axial lip which seals against the radial leg of the thrust washer and may include a radially outwardly projecting sealing lip which contacts the outer ring and/or the portion of the thrust washer at the outer ring.

Seal, in particular a rolling bearing seal

A split roller bearing comprises a split inner race having a radially outwardly directed inner race surface, a split outer race surrounding the inner race and having an inwardly directed outer race surface generally concentric with the inner race surface, an annular row of rollers engaged radially between the inner and outer race surfaces, and a plurality of similar roller cage parts together forming an annular roller cage lying mainly between the inner and outer surfaces and formed with respective radially opening windows receiving the rollers. The cage parts each have a radius of curvature smaller than the radius of curvature of the inner surface in an unstressed condition. Thus it is possible to provide adequate material thickness at the ends of the cage parts to prevent the cage from wearing out at these locations. Since the rollers are movable radially in the pockets there is no binding between the rollers and the cage.
