ABSTRACT:
A bearing seal system having a bag structure in a first embodiment wherein (1) oil is filled in a tapering bag space section positioned from the bag section to an exit section; (2) the space in the tapering space section is kept to 0.8 mm or less the slope angle of the outer end of the tapering space section is kept to 45.degree. or less. In this way, oil is kept from air and a stable no-leak status is made possible; (3) the capacity of the tapering space section is made larger than that of a bag section or a radial bearing section in order to retain oil in the bearing section at all times and to prevent oil from leaking as a result of variations in the quantity of oil injected or in the capacity; and (4) the space ratio of the inner end and the outer end of the tapering space section is made larger to prevent oil from moving to the bearing section even when air migrates into the oil surface. In a second embodiment, the tapering space section where the surface of lubrication oil is injected can be at two places at both ends of a radial bearing section or at both ends of a bearing with a radial bearing section and a third bearing section. A third embodiment is disclosed.
