Claim:
A sealing device for a sealing space between two members concentrically and relatively rotating in which the one member is a stationary side member and the other member is a rotary side member, which comprises: a core member fixedly fitted into one of said two members; a metal slinger fixedly fitted into the other of said two members; and an elastic seal member fixedly attached to said core member and having a seal lip which elastically and slidably contacts said slinger, said slinger having a slidably contacting surface for said seal lip, and comprising a fitting cylindrical portion to be fitted into said rotary side member and a brim portion extended in the radial direction of said slinger from an end of the outer side relative to a part of said fitting cylindrical portion to be sealed, and to the opposite side of said slidably contacting surface of said brim portion a tone wheel magnetized by a plurality of N poles and S poles being integrally attached by an adhesive agent, in such a manner that N pole and S pole are alternately formed along its circumferential direction, wherein: said slidably contacting surface is processed with a surface treatment as defined by all the following parameters: arithmetic mean roughness Ra in the range from. 0.51 μm to 1.51 μm, root-mean-square roughness Rq in the range from 0.61 μm to 2.01 μm, mean surface irregularity interval Sm in the range from 0.05 mm to 0.17 mm, and peak count Pc (50%) in the range from 20 to 60; said slidably contacting surface is processed with said surface treatment after said adhesive agent is applied on the whole surface of said slinger, and said adhesive agent remains on the part of said slinger excluding the part where said surface treatment has been made; and said slidably contacting surface is defined as such surface in which the error between the value A calculated by the following mathematical expression (1) and the measured value of said value Ra meets the following condition (1) mathematical expression (1): A=0.8462Rq−0.5078Sm−0.0012Pc+0.0516 condition (1): herein as for the error between the calculated value A and said measured value of (A−Ra)/Ra×100%, the distribution of said error obtained by measuring in random directions is within ±7%, when statistically viewing 3σ.
