Abstract
A bearing unit includes an inner ring, an outer ring, and a sealing device interposed between the inner and outer ring. The sealing device includes first annular screen joined to the radially outer ring and a second annular screen joined to the radially inner ring and facing the first screen. The first screen includes a first gasket made of an elastomeric material, and the second screen includes a second sealing gasket made of an elastomeric material. The second gasket includes an elastically deformable non-contacting annular lip projecting from a radially outer peripheral edge of the second screen. The non-contacting annular sealing lip is contained at least partially within an annular groove of the outer ring in an un-deformed configuration, and the non-contacting annular lip is configured to flex in a radially and axially inward direction and contact the annular groove in a deformed configuration.
