Triple-lip seal contacts the stainless steel flinger, not the shaft or inner ring. It maitains positive seal contact even under misalignment.
The grease in CXSAF bearing purges depending on the speed of application. As the RPM’s increse this seal allows the excess grease to excape helping the bearing run cooler.
SEAL
The seal lip rubs against the shaft which leads to damage to the shafting. Reduced seal contact can also occur when there is misalignment.
The SAF bearing has a larger void meaning more grease is needed. The seal design of the SAF bearing does not allow excess grease to purge easily meaning that it continually runs at a higher temperature.
