Abstract
A rolling bearing includes an inner ring, an outer ring, a plurality of rolling elements, and a cage. A first seal is provided on one side of the annular space between the inner ring and the outer ring in the axial direction and has a first lip portion that forms a first labyrinth clearance with the inner ring to prevent spill of the grease. A second seal is provided on the other side of the annular space in the axial direction and has a second lip portion that forms a second labyrinth clearance with the inner ring to prevent spill of the grease. The second lip portion is larger than the first lip portion such that the path length of the second labyrinth clearance is longer than the path length of the first labyrinth clearance.
