SEALING ARRANGEMENT FOR WHEEL BEARINGS, AND WHEEL BEARING UNIT COMPRISING A SEALING ARRANGEMENT - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18026445 titled 'SEALING ARRANGEMENT FOR WHEEL BEARINGS, AND WHEEL BEARING UNIT COMPRISING A SEALING ARRANGEMENT

Simplified Explanation

- The abstract describes a sealing arrangement for a wheel bearing. - The arrangement includes a carrier element, a resilient sealing element, and a counterflow plate. - The resilient sealing element has a main body, first and second axial sealing lips, and a radial sealing lip. - The counterflow plate is positioned facing the carrier element. - The first and second axial sealing lips and the radial sealing lip make sliding contact with the counterflow plate. - The sealing lips rest against the counterflow plate with respective contact pressures.

  • The patent application describes a sealing arrangement for a wheel bearing.
  • The arrangement includes a carrier element, a resilient sealing element, and a counterflow plate.
  • The sealing element has multiple sealing lips for effective sealing.
  • The counterflow plate is positioned to interact with the sealing lips.

  • The contact pressures ensure proper sealing between the parts.


Original Abstract Submitted

A sealing arrangement for a wheel bearing includes a carrier element connectable to a first bearing part of the wheel bearing, a resilient sealing element, and a counterflow plate connectable to a second bearing part of the wheel bearing. The resilient sealing element includes a resilient main body arranged on the carrier element, first and second axial sealing lips extending away from the resilient main body, and a radial sealing lip extending away from the resilient main body. The counterflow plate is arranged with one side facing the carrier element such that the first and second axial sealing lips, and the radial sealing lip, are in sliding contact with the counterflow plate. The first axial sealing lip, second axial sealing lip, and radial sealing lip rest against the counterflow plate with respective contact pressures.
