A bearing seal provides a first sealing member to be secured to a shoulder on one side of a first bearing ring and a second sealing member that can be secured to a shoulder on the same side of a second bearing ring. A labyrinth seal gap is formed between the first sealing member and the second sealing member, which has at least one tooth-shaped turn. On the basis of the above bearing seal, the present invention further provides a rolling bearing that employs the bearing seal on an axial side thereof.

Bearing seal and its applications

A bearing seal for a rolling bearing with standard boundary dimensions that comprises a first flinger fitted into a first bearing ring and a second flinger fitted into a second bearing ring. Each flinger further comprises a correspondingly numbered sealing body. A first sealing body engages the second flinger and/or the second bearing ring, and a second sealing body engages the first flinger and/or the first bearing ring. The axial width of the bearing seal varies along the radial direction of the bearing. Starting at the first bearing ring, with a narrow width W, defined relative to the total radial size of the bearing seal L, wherein the ratio W/L is less than or equal to 0.5, the bearing seal widens toward the second bearing ring, thereby providing extra space between the rolling elements and/or cage and the bearing seal adjacent to the first bearing ring.
