Abstract:
1. A sealing arrangement which seals at least one radial interspace between an outer lateral surface of at least one inner bearing ring and an inner lateral surface of at least one outer bearing ring, the radial interspace being a hollow region bounded radially by the inner lateral surface of the outer bearing ring and bounded axially by an imaginary plane which is oriented perpendicularly to the bearing axis and extends from the end surface of the outer bearing ring, the sealing arrangement comprising at least a first support, the first support having at least one elastic seal, a second support, the second support having at least one encoder arranged outside the interspace, and the encoder being oriented radially toward at least one sensor arranged above the encoder in the radially outward direction, a dirt deflector on the inner bearing ring, the dirt deflector and the first support being arranged such that they can be rotated relative to one another, and the seal butting at least against the dirt deflector, wherein the encoder engages around the inner bearing ring, and in that the encoder is covered fully at least in the radial direction and at least partially in the axial direction by means of a covering element, the covering element being rotationally fixed on one of the bearing rings and rotatable relative to the encoder, and wherein neither the encoder nor the sensor penetrate into the interspace, the first support being formed integrally with the covering element, the covering element being interposed between the encoder and the sensor.
