ABSTRACT:
The axial gap between the rotatable hub of a locomotive wheel and the relatively stationary thrust flange of an adjacent axle bearing is covered by a dust guard comprising an annular band of elastomeric material firmly secured to the circumference of the thrust flange and having a portion that overlaps the wheel hub. On the inside circumference of the overlapping portion of the annular band there is attached a narrow felt tape that slidingly engages the perimeter of the rotatable wheel hub to form a seal therewith, and the overlapping portion is encircled by a large-diameter hose clamp that enables a desired amount of radial pressure to be applied substantially uniformly around the felt tape.
