A large amount of rolling water is used in a steel rolling mill to ensure rolling accuracy. Therefore, it is necessary for the roll neck bearing to prevent the infiltration of the rolling water. FIG. 14 shows a four-row tapered roller bearing having a sealing device 100 mainly used in a steel rolling mill. The four-row tapered roller bearing shown in the figure has an inner ring, an outer ring,
It comprises four rows of tapered rollers, each of which is disposed between the inner ring and the outer ring, a retainer for holding the tapered rollers, and sealing devices provided at both ends. The sealing device prevents rolling water from entering the four-row tapered roller bearing, and is shown in an enlarged scale in FIG. In the sealing device 100, a seal body 700 is fitted into the inner periphery of a seal holder portion 602 of an annular seal holder 600.

ある。Further, a seal holder formed as a separate body as shown in FIG.
There is also a sealing device 101 as shown in FIG. 16 in which a seal member 700 is formed and a seal body 700 is fitted on the inner periphery of the seal holder portion 602.

By slidingly contacting the outer peripheral surface 301, the outside of the bearing is shut off. The same applies to FIG.

Describing with the example of (a), the bearing has a cage cage 500, and the bottom portion 501 of the cage 500 is configured to protrude from the bearing portion width C (FIG. 1).

For this reason, the space of the bearing portion is restricted, and the load capacity must be reduced. So Figure 1
A sealing device as shown in FIG. 5 (b) is used.

Does not interfere with each other and the width of the seal holder 600 can be reduced, so that the load capacity of the bearing can be increased.

A dedicated bearing suspension jig 800 as shown in FIG.

虞れがある。However, the seal 700 in the sealing device shown in FIG.
Since the rectangular portion 702 is provided horizontally from the flange portion 704 sandwiched between the bearing member 1 and the end surface of the bearing outer ring, the inner diameter of the seal holder 600 is large due to its structure.
The cross-sectional height of the seal body 700 becomes large,
There is a problem that the bearing hanging jig 800 used at the time of assembling cannot be used (see FIG. 15B). That is, the claw portion of the bearing hanging jig 800 does not reach the seal holder 600, and the claw portion abuts on the seal member 700, so that the seal member 700 may be deformed or damaged by the claw portion during lifting.

57361. This structure has a shape in which one end of the cage is sunk into the seal space of the seal holder so as to avoid interference with the seal body, reducing the inner diameter of the seal holder and securing the set space for the hanging jig. I have. However, in the structure disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. H11-257361, since the width of the seal holder is restricted, the fitting force of the seal body is likely to be reduced. It may come off during handling. This can occur, for example, when handling the seal holder alone.

を省略する。The engaging portion 12 'in this embodiment shown in FIGS. 10 to 13 is not particularly limited to the illustrated example, but has a desired width (axial width) and a desired height (radial height). )
The convex shape is not limited to a rectangular shape in a vertical cross section as shown in the figure, but is arbitrary. The concave groove 31 of the seal body 17 is not particularly limited, and is formed with a desired width (axial width) and a desired depth (radial depth). The shape is not limited to a rectangular shape, and may be any shape as long as the engaging portion 12 'can be fitted into a groove. For example, a configuration similar to that of the concave-convex fitting section 25 of the second embodiment can be adopted. That is,
The engaging portion 12 ′ has a substantially trapezoidal shape in a longitudinal section having a tapered surface on the inner side surface (the front surface side in the direction of assembling the seal body). ,
It is also possible within the scope of the present invention to have a substantially trapezoidal shape in a longitudinal section having a tapered surface on the inner side (the inner surface near the conical surface 19) closely contacting the tapered surface. Although the engaging portion 12 'of this embodiment is formed singly in the axial direction, a plurality of the engaging portions 12' may be formed in the axial direction, and the axial width of the engaging portion 12 'may be arbitrarily set. It is also within the scope of the present invention to form the engaging portion 12 'so as to cover the entire cylindrical inner peripheral surface 11 in the axial direction. The concave groove 31 is also the engaging portion 1
It can be appropriately set and changed in accordance with 2 '. Also, the engaging portion 12 'and the concave groove can be an intermittent engaging portion and a concave groove, respectively, in the circumferential direction. The axial width, radial height (depth), and the like are not particularly limited and are arbitrary.
