Abstract
The inner periphery or the outer periphery, or both, of one thrust race is radially spaced from the corresponding outer periphery or inner periphery, or both, of the other thrust race. A resilient seal is positioned in the radial space thus provided between the corresponding peripheries of the two thrust races. The sealing member includes a metal portion and an annular elastomeric portion adapted to seal the radial space between the peripheries of the thrust races.
