The auxiliary seal has a ring-shaped collar extending in the axial direction, by which it is connected to the bearing bushing and at least one sealing lip bearing against the bearing bushing. The ring-shaped collar is pretensioned with radial pretension. The auxiliary seal has axially oriented projections located in a ring-shaped recess on the side facing the bearing bushing and each projection is situated over a portion of its length on a tongue of the ring-shaped collar.
