Contrary to what you just said, grease provides an effective barrier against dirt when applied correctly. snip DFM I'm sorry Deep, but grease provides no barrier at all. In fact grease plus dirt equals grinding compound. This mixture will result in the rapid erosion of metallic surfaces ( in a dynamic situation). Thirty years working in foundries forces me to agree with Jose. Bearings will always fail if the seals are damaged. Bearings designed to be used in particularly aggressive conditions will often be double sealed. Allan Jones |
