Abstract
An antifriction bearing has an inner race with a radially outward extending flange, an outer race, and rolling elements between the inner and outer races. The surface of the outer race toward the flange has a sealing lip, and an annular flexible resilient sealing element engages the lip and extends into sliding contact with the flange. The sealing element is held in place by a cylindrical casing radially surrounding the sealing element, the casing extending axially to form a narrow gap with the flange.
