Abstract:
Low-friction sealing assembly for a vehicle wheel-hub unit inserted inside an annular interspace defined between a flanged rotating element and a stationary element, coaxial with each other, of the wheel-hub unit to protect at least one ring of revolving bodies arranged between the stationary element and the rotating element, and having a first annular screen and a second annular screen during use integral with the rotating element and with the stationary element; and an annular seal having lips that extend axially and radially projecting from the first screen towards the second screen inside an annular chamber defined by the first and second screens; the sealing assembly being a multi-stage sealing assembly provided with a first inner collecting stage designed to collect and expel some of the contaminants.

Claim (Index 1):
A low-friction sealing assembly for a vehicle wheel-hub unit that is inserted inside an annular interspace defined between a flanged rotating element and stationary element, coaxial with each other, the wheel-hub unit to protect at least one ring of revolving members arranged between the stationary element and the rotating element, and comprises:\n a first annular screen integral with the rotating element; a second annular screen integral with the stationary element; and an annular seal comprising lips that extend axially and radially projecting from the first screen towards the second screen inside an annular chamber defined by the first and second screens; the sealing assembly providing a multi-stage sealing assembly and comprises: a first inner collecting stage designed to collect and expel some of the contaminants and is defined by an annular cavity of the first screen; and a labyrinth stage that is arranged radially on the outside of the first inner collecting stage along an entry/exit path of the contaminants and is also defined by an annular deviating lug of the first screen.
