Patent ID: 8246253

Claim:
A rolling bearing, comprising: a first raceway member having an inner peripheral surface and an outer peripheral surface, wherein one peripheral surface which comprises one of the inner and the outer peripheral surfaces includes a first raceway surface; a second raceway member having a second raceway surface facing the first raceway surface in a radial direction of the bearing; a plurality of rolling elements rotatably provided between the first raceway surface and the second raceway surface; and a sealing member comprising a metallic member press fitted on the one peripheral surface, the sealing member comprising: a first cylinder section including a first cylinder section facing surface which is in contact with the one peripheral surface; a second cylinder section connected to the first cylinder section and including a second cylinder section facing surface which faces the one peripheral surface; a flange section extending radially away from the second cylinder section; and a bend section for connecting the second cylinder section to the flange section, wherein, in a state before the sealing member is press fitted on the one peripheral surface, a radial position of the second cylinder section facing surface is closer to the flange section than a radial position of the first cylinder section facing surface, and wherein, in a state after the sealing member has been press fitted on the one peripheral surface, the second cylinder section facing surface is in non-contact with the one peripheral surface.
