Sealing Considerations for Tapered Roller Bearings

This paper discusses the application of seals to tapered roller bearings and is intended as a guide to (1) the engineer designing a sealed application, (2) the production personnel installing seals in the application and (3) the maintenance personnel servicing the application. The paper is deliberately not referenced so that when problems are encountered that cannot be solved by using this guide, the bearing or seal manufacturer is consulted.
