A bearing housing (3) encloses a bearing (2) for a shaft (1). The bearing is mounted on the shaft by a clamping sleeve (4) with a longitudinal slit and two flanges (5, 6) one on each side of the bearing. The flanges, which are axially fixed on the sleeve, are parts of mounting and dismounting means for a bearing. The bearing space is sealed by sealing members which surround the flanges and have lips (12, 13) contacting the outer surfaces of said flanges. Resilient sealing rings (10, 11) are arranged between the flanges and the inner ring of the bearing. The sealing arrangement allows the use of a slitted clamping sleeve and axial displacement of the bearing on the shaft (1) during mounting.

Bearing arrangement with a seal

A unitary one-piece rolling element retainer for roller bearings consisting of inner and outer rings and rolling elements between the rings. The retainer comprises a body member made of a foamed plastic material consisting of at least one homogeneous liquid impermeable hard and rigid outer peripheral surface portion and at least one porous portion of the same material. The porous portion is filled with the lubricant and includes at least one pocket for a rolling element in the body member. The rolling element contacts the porous portion to draw lubricant during operation and also contacts the outer surface portion at the periphery of the pocket to prevent escape of lubricant from the container except through contact with the rolling element.
