ABSTRACT:
A bearing assembly includes an improved arrangement for securement to a shaft. An inner ring member having a tapered inner surface is received over a tapered adapter having a tapered outer surface. The tapered adapter includes an annular flange at a larger diameter end thereof. A split ring removal tool can be utilized to engage the flange to facilitate removal of the bearing assembly from the shaft. The bearing assembly also includes a pair of sealing assemblies carrying a primary sealing lip and an optional auxiliary sealing lip. When desired, flinger members may be provided to engage the auxiliary sealing lips. One of the flinger members may be situated between an outside endwall of the inner ring member and an inside endwall of the annular flange. In this case, a unitary removal ring may be situated adjacent such flinger member.
