Abstract
The bearing seal assembly () includes a metal shield () and a resilient multi-lip sealing gasket () secured to the metal shield. The metal shield is supported in use by an outer ring () of a rolling contact bearing and includes a diagonally extending central portion (). The sealing gasket () provides a number of contacting lips (-) facing an inner ring of the rolling contact bearing. A first, main contacting lip () exerts a first radial load on the inner ring. A second contacting lip () extends from the first lip () and exerts a second radial load on the inner ring lower than the first radial load. A third contacting lip () is on the opposite side of the second lip () with respect to the first lip () and exerts a third radial load on the inner ring lower than the first radial load but greater than the second radial load.
