Abstract

A device for sealing and/or mounting a rolling-element bearing in a housing or on a shaft includes a sheet-metal disk secured to one of the bearing rings and an annular portion which interfaces with the other ring to form a seal. The disk has a second diverging annular portion which acts like a spring to urge the edges thereof into engagement with the housing or shaft for affixation thereto or to provide a resilient coupling between the bearing and housing or shaft.
