Harsh operating environments and lubrication issues often lead to early seal failure, allowing contaminants to get into a bearing and lubrication to seep out. Timken's spherical roller bearing solid-block (SRB) housed units have many primary and secondary sealing mechanisms to choose from.
Labyrinth Seals - DuPont™ Teflon®
