QWhat is a sealed roller bearing?

AA sealed deep groove ball bearing. A rolling-element bearing, also known as a rolling bearing, is a bearing which carries a load by placing rolling elements (such as balls or rollers) between two bearing rings called races.

QHow can you tell if a bearing is a sealed bearing?

AWhen trying to decide whether a bearing is sealed using the AFBMA or SKF code, note the shields or seals section.

If you are looking for a brand that is available in both a cartridge and a can you would want the part # L10320. LMX Red is heavy-duty, premium grease for the toughest lubricating jobs on the biggest, heaviest equipment.

QWhere are SKF hub bearings made?

AHere's the thing. I want Timken bearings because the ones for our trucks look to be made in the USA where the SKF bearings are made in Mexico, but the Timken bearings look to have poly cages where the SKF bearings look to have a steel cage which I think would be better than a poly cage.

QWhat is a double row bearing?
