A sealing device for a bearing of the hub of a motor vehicle wheel
comprising a stationary race (1) and a rotatable race (2), each defining
respective channels (6, 7) for the passage of pressurized air. The
sealing device (20) is to be mounted between the rotatable race and the
stationary race in order to delimit laterally and hermetically seal an
annular space or chamber (14) defined between the bearing races (1, 2)
and communicating with the channels (6, 7). The sealing device (20)
comprises two sealing units (9) axially facing one another. Each sealing
unit (9) comprises an annular reinforcement (10) having an axial
cylindrical wall (10a) for mounting to a first bearing race (1) and a
radial wall (10b) for reinforcing a flexible gasket (11). The two sealing
units (9) are coupled by means of an annular element (21) having a
plurality of radial air passages (22). The annular element (21) is
located coaxially and forcefully coupled with radial interference with
the cylindrical walls (10a) of the two reinforcements (10). The
cylindrical walls (10a) of the two reinforcements are axially spaced from
one another for allowing pressurized air to flow through the passages
(22) of the annular element (21).
