Abstract
A shield has an outer periphery portion engaging a grooved outer bearing ring, an inner periphery portion adjacent an inner bearing ring, and a mid portion joining the outer periphery portion and the inner periphery portion. The outer periphery portion has an annular reverse bend and terminates in an annular flat surface having radially outer and radially inner edge portions. The radially outer edge portion and the radially inner edge portion and the reverse bend each contact the grooved outer bearing ring to retain the shield axially and radially.
