Abstract
A seal assembly is disclosed for a bearing having first ring with a first inner surface, a second ring with a second inner surface, and at least one bearing member disposed between the first and second inner surfaces. An exterior seal with a first plurality of lips is attached to an exterior backing, the exterior backing engaging the first ring of the bearing to hold the first plurality of lips against the second inner surface of the second ring. An interior seal with a second plurality of lips is attached to an interior backing, the interior backing engaging the second ring of the bearing to hold the second plurality of lips against the first inner surface of the first ring. The second plurality of lips may be configure differently than the first plurality of seal lips. The interior backing may be oriented between the exterior seal and the interior seal.
