Lubrication, sealingWheel bearings are almost exclusively lubricated withgrease. Bearings which have no integrated seals are normallysealed with spring-preloaded shaft seals with specialdust lips. Sealed bearings such as the double-rowangular contact ball bearings with for-life lubrication,which are widespread in passenger cars, normally havea combination of dust shield and seal. Experience hasshown that these seals are satisfactory if the design providesan additional gap-type seal. Collecting groovesand baffles are also required to protect the bearingsagainst dust and splash water.35 Driven and steered front wheel of a front drive passenger carOperating dataWheel load 4,600 N; tyre size 175/70 R14;r dyn = 295 mm; maximum speed 180 km/h.Bearing selectionThe bearing arrangement is made up of a sealed double-rowFAG angular contact ball bearing.The bearing is greased for life with FAG rolling bearinggrease.The bearing arrangement of a driven and non-steeredrear wheel of a rear drive passenger car may also be designedlike this.35: Passenger-car front wheel55 FAG
