Why are the main bearings behind the spool only shielded on one side? Wouldn't a double shielded, lubed for life bearing be better? They are used in in many pump and fan industrial applications without incident! Your thoughts?
Why keep posting the same question every couple of hours?
I can think of a few.
Place the bearing with the shield facing out to keep debris from getting in. A single shield is easier to clean, inspect and lube thoroughly. Cost to the manufacturer is probably a consideration. Personal preference of the owner. Some folks like no shields, some want two, some want one. Still others want sealed bearings - one seal, two seals. Let experience teach you what best suits your needs.
