Abstract
A rolling bearing is provided with an integrally assembled fastening flange and inner and outer races and a plurality of rolling elements between the inner and outer races. The rolling elements are separated from one another by a bearing cage. A flexible material seals the area of the rolling elements and their contact surfaces for inhibiting penetration by foreign matter or loss of lubricant. At least one of the seals is fastened on one side of the rolling elements between the inner and outer races against respective first and second walls with each respective end of the seal contacting the first and second walls. The seal ends are held against the first and second walls by a relatively inflexible material element applied onto an exterior side of the seal out of contact with the walls and surrounding the exterior side of the seal for maintaining the seal ends in position.
