Abstract
A sealing device adapted to be disposed between an inner member and an outer member that rotate relative to each other includes a first sealing member including a cylindrical part adapted to be mounted to the outer member, and an annular part that extends radially inward from the cylindrical part; and a second sealing member including a sleeve adapted to be mounted to the inner member, and a flange. The first sealing member includes a lip that extends toward the flange of the second sealing member. An annular first clearance is provided between the flange and the cylindrical part of the first sealing member. The second sealing member includes a labyrinth lip extending from the flange radially outward and extending toward the atmosphere side more than the cylindrical part of the first sealing member, and a second clearance is provided between the labyrinth lip and the outer member.
