Abstract
A seal assembly for a truck wheel hub assembly includes an inner annular case having an axial portion disposable about an axle and a radial portion extending radially outwardly from the axial portion. An outer annular case is coupleable with a hub bore and has a radial portion extending radially inwardly from the bore. An annular elastomeric seal member has a base portion disposed on the outer case and at least one flexible axial seal lip with a first end integrally formed with the base portion and a second, free end sealingly engageable with the radial portion of the inner case. A radial projection extends radially inwardly from the outer case radial portion and has an inner radial end located adjacent to and spaced radially outwardly from the inner case axial portion or an outer circumferential surface disposed about the axle so as to form a labyrinth seal gap.
