Abstract
A sealing device for a hub/wheel assembly with a roller bearing, the sealing device comprising a guard, made of plastic, which is coupled to an outer ring of the bearing so as to seal off the bearing, and which has a cylindrical mounting wall having an outer lateral surface coupled to an inner lateral surface of a collar of the outer ring. The sealing device includes a snap-engagement tooth for engaging with the collar made along the outer lateral surface so that the snap-engagement tooth snap-fits in a contoured annular groove made along the collar about the axis and an annular gasket made of thermoplastic elastomer being co-injection-molded inside a gripping seat made in the cylindrical mounting wall on the same side as the snap-engagement tooth, substantially at a corner defined between the cylindrical mounting wall and an annular reading wall transverse to the cylindrical mounting wall.
