Abstract
There is provided a rotary seal having uneven surfaces formed on sliding contact surfaces of a slinger with which seal lip portions of a seal member come in contact, in which wear of the seal lip portions is reduced, resulting in increased reliability. The rotary sealincludes: a core metal; the seal memberhaving a base portionA joined to the core metaland the seal lip portionsB,C, andD; and the slingerhaving the sliding contact surfaces A and B with which the seal lip portionsB,C, andD come in contact, in which each of the sliding contact surfaces A and B is in such a surface condition that an arithmetic average roughness Ra satisfies 0.3 μm≤Ra≤1.0 μm, a skewness of roughness curve Rsk satisfies Rsk≤−1, and an average length of roughness curve element RSm satisfies 100 μm≤RSm, Ra, Rsk, and RSm defined by JIS B 0601:2013.
