A sealed rolling bearing has sealing devices with both the functions of
high sealing ability and small sliding resistance, which are antipodal to
each other. The sealed rolling bearing has an outer member (1, 30) formed
with an outer raceway surface (8, 29) on its inner circumferential
surface. An inner member (4, 5, 32) is formed with an inner raceway
surface (9a, 9b, 31) on its outer circumferential surface. The inner
raceway surface (9a, 9b, 31) is arranged opposite to the outer raceway
surface (8, 29). Rolling elements (10, 34) are freely rollably contained
between the outer and inner raceway surfaces. Sealing devices (12, 13,
35) are arranged in an annular space formed between the outer and inner
members (1, 30 and 4, 5, 32). Each of the sealing devices (12, 13; 35)
has elastic sealing lips (27a.about.27c, 23.about.25, 37a, 37b). The
maximum height Ry or Rmax of the surface roughness of a sliding surface
of a member of the rotational side (18, 4, 32), which the sealing lips
(27a.about.27c, 23.about.25, 37a, 37b) slidingly contact, is limited to a
value of 2.0 .mu.m or less. The run-out of the sliding surface, normal
thereto, is limited to a value of 30 .mu.m or less.
