Abstract
An anti-friction bearing has a covering comprising first and second caps respectively over each of its races, and the caps are snap-locked to the bearing so as to enclose the bearing within it and to protect the same. An elastic material ring surrounds the peripheries of the two caps and protrudes outwardly protecting the bearing against impact damage. The periphery of the wall of one of the caps is conically tapered and the other of the caps pushes the elastic ring toward the wider end of the tapered wall for tensioning the ring.
