Abstract

See full text

A vehicle wheel bearing apparatus has an inner-side seal with an annular slinger and a sealing plate. The slinger has a cylindrical portion and a standing portion. The sealing plate has a metal core and a sealing member. The metal core is press-fit into the inner circumference of an end of the outer member. The sealing member has a pair of side lips that angularly extend radially outward. The sealing member is adapted to be in sliding contact with the standing portion of the slinger, via a predetermined axial interface. The sealing member is secured to the metal core while extending over the outer circumference of an end of the metal core. The sealing member is formed with an outer circumferential lip extending radially outward from its circumferential end. The lip has a substantially L-shaped longitudinal section and is adapted to be fit in a gap between the inner-side end of the outer member and a flange portion of the knuckle.
