Abstract
A wheel bearing is provided with a sealing device comprising in-cluding at least an outer structure and an inner structure together de-limiting a chicane passage having an inlet. The outer structure forms an annular gutter which is open radially outwards. The inlet of the chicane passage and the shrink-fitting portion of the outer structure are situated axially on either side of the gutter. The shrink-fitting portion of the outer structure is situated on one side of a reference plane of the outer ring, perpendicular to the axis of revolution and tangential to the end wall of the outer ring opposite to the chicane passage and to the gutter.
