Rolling bearing assembly including a crimped sealing assembly having a grounding element
Abstract:
A rolling bearing assembly has a first ring including a first race, a second ring including a second race, and a plurality of rolling elements in rolling contact with the first and second races. The rolling bearing assembly also has a sealing assembly including a first end in contact with the first ring and a second end in contact with the second ring. The sealing assembly has a shield, a sealing element, and a grounding element. The shield has an attachment section in which a free end of the shield is crimped such that it is bent around the sealing element and the grounding element to thereby hold the shield, the sealing element, and the grounding element together with the shield in contact with the first ring and the grounding element in contact with the second ring. The sealing assembly thus creates an electrically conductive path between the first ring and the second ring.
