SEA Bearing Select
SEA select bearings and bearing kits are specially selected bearing variations that are perfect replacement for its automotive application
SEA select bearings and bearing kits are manufactured exactly according to OEM specifications, as it is intended to be.
Bearing families of SEA Bearing Select
Ball Bearings
Punctual contact between rolling elements
and rings
Roller Bearings
Linear contact between rolling elements
and rings
Bearing Lubrication of SEA Bearing Select
Bearings are generally lubricated with the 2 types of lubricants mentioned below.
SEA Select bearings are lubricated to suit automotive applications, increasing bearing life, preventing corrosion, reducing friction, reducing heat and enhancing performance.
Grease
Most common type (about 90%) for rolling bearings. Selection of the right grease is thus paramount.
Oil
Used mainly for high speed applications as it dissipates heat better than grease.
Integral Seals of SEA Bearing Select
Bearings are generally lubricated with the 2 types of lubricants mentioned below.
SEA Select bearings are lubricated to suit automotive applications, increasing bearing life, preventing corrosion, reducing friction, reducing heat and enhancing performance.
Metal Shield (No Contact)
A metal layer is pressed into the outer ring of the bearing. Keep grease within bearing by centrifugal force
Rubber Shield (No Contact)
A synthetic rubber is bonded to a metal ring which is fixed to the outer bearing ring
Rubber Shield (Contact)
Similar to rubber shield (No contact) except with an additional inner lip which makes contact with the V-slot of the sealing surface of the inner ring
ABS System of SEA Bearing Select
The function ABS is to prevent individual wheels from locking up. It aims to provide steering control to the driver in case of an emergency.
SEA Select bearings thus placed great emphasis on our bearing's ABS system, ensuring drivers are able to be in control when most needed.
Sprocket Encoder
Metallic impulse ring that rotates at the same speed as the wheel (may not be mounted on bearing)
Magnetic Encoder
Magnetic ring instead of a metallic ring. Magnetic sensor (separate active sensor) is able to detect rotation speed of wheel
