Universal Joint Bearings - Designs and Variants
Designs That Either Require Maintenance or Are Virtually Maintenance-Free
Universal joint bearings are available in both maintenance-required and maintenance-free options. Bearings that require maintenance typically need regular lubrication to ensure optimal performance. On the other hand, maintenance-free bearings are designed to operate efficiently without regular servicing, using advanced materials and designs that reduce friction and wear over time.
Designs That Are Either Open (Without Seals) or Sealed
Universal joint bearings are designed in both open and sealed configurations. Open bearings are exposed and require regular lubrication, making them suitable for environments where contaminants are less of a concern. Sealed bearings, however, provide protection against dirt, dust, and other contaminants, ensuring a longer service life by reducing the need for frequent maintenance.
