Abstract

Sealing ring for radial rolling bearings with an outer race and an inner race and rolling bodies in the gap between them, consisting of a ring body of elastic material bridging the gap with, at one radial end, at least one sealing lip or the like sliding along a contact surface of the outer race or inner race and with, at its opposite end, a hub section supported on a seating surface of the inner or outer race and a stiffening plate incorporated into the ring body with a radial web section and, in the hub section, a collar section connected to the outer edge of the web section facing the hub, characterized in that the collar section of the stiffening plate is formed both by axially inward-bent and axially outward-bent tabs of the outer edge of the stiffening plate.
