Abstract
A resilient sealing device is provided for accommodating tolerance variations between a lubricant holding case and a hub member. The device has a sealing face including deformable lips which are urged toward the hub by a resilient column and deformable legs held in a retaining channel, with both the column and the legs allowing the lips to recede back into the channel while the edges of the sealing face are held by the edges of the channel.
