- the fitting force of the fitting cylindrical portion 31A of the dust seal 31 can be reliably increased by the metal ring 32, and the seal fitting of the boss member 12 is achieved.
- the fitting cylinder part 31A can be held in the retaining state in the joint hole 12B.
- the thickness dimension a of the fitting cylinder portion 20A of the dust seal 20 is formed to be 1.8 mm ⁇ a ⁇ 2.2 mm is described as an example.
- the present invention is not limited to this, and the fitting cylinder portion may be formed with the thickness dimension a being less than 1.8 mm, for example, or the thickness dimension a is formed to be larger than 2.2 mm. Also good. This also applies to the thickness dimension b of the bush end surface abutting portion 20B.
- the thickness dimension c of the lip portion 20D is formed to be, for example, 1.3 mm ⁇ c ⁇ 1.7 mm has been described as an example.
- the present invention is not limited to this, and the lip portion of the dust seal may be formed by setting the thickness dimension c to be less than 1.3 mm, for example, or the thickness dimension c may be formed to a dimension larger than 1.8 mm. Also good.
- the dimensions of the fitting cylinder portion 20A, bush end surface abutting portion 20B, lip portion 20D, etc. of the dust seal 20 employed in the first embodiment are the outer dimensions of the boss member 12, the connecting pin 17, etc., the installation space, etc.
- the conditions relating to the design are appropriately set and are not limited to the above-described numerical values. This point can be similarly applied to the dust seal 31 described in the second embodiment.
- the bearing device 11 is applied to the pin coupling portion between the arm 8 and the bucket 10 as an example.
- the present invention is not limited to this, for example, a pin coupling portion between the tip of the boom 6 and the arm 8 constituting the work device 4, and a pin coupling between the foot portion of the boom 6 and the upper swing body 3.
- a bearing device may be applied to the pin coupling portion of each of the cylinders 5, 7, 9.
- the bearing device 11 is applied to the hydraulic excavator 1 as an example.
- the present invention is not limited to this and is widely applied to other construction machines such as a hydraulic crane and a lift truck. Applicable.
