Abstract

A bearing includes a first housing part and a second housing part. A housing gap is formed between the first housing part and the second housing part, and a bearing unit is arranged in the housing gap. In embodiments, a sealing system is provided that seals the housing gap. The sealing system may include at least one first sealing lip that is designed such that it can pivot. In embodiments, a first sealing lip is at a distance from the first housing part and/or the second housing part in the non-sealing state, and for sealing the housing gap, the first sealing lip may pivot and come into contact with the first housing part and/or the second housing part.
