ABSTRACT:
A bearing assembly includes an inner race and an outer race, with the outer race positioned such that the inner race is an opposed and spaced apart relation from the outer race. Roller elements are disposed between the inner race and the outer race. A resilient seal element extends adjacent to a flange element, maintaining an effective seal during axial and/or radial movement, such as that caused by thermal expansion, of the resilient seal element relative to the flange element. The resilient seal element excludes contaminants from entering the bearing assembly and retains grease or lubricant within the bearing assembly.
