At present I have a milling machine gearbox apart and plan to replace two 6206 size bearings. The bearings in question would probably last me the rest of my life but for less than 8 bucks each it's cheap insurance. The bearings are on either end of a spline shaft. The bearings are "splash-lubricated" by 90W in the gearbox. Since the bearings are different brands, I assume one or both have been replaced. One bearing is open and the other is double-shielded. The rest of the bearings in the gearbox are open.
My question is: In this application is a shielded bearing appropriate or could it possibly be detrimental for them to be shielded or maybe it doesn't matter?
Thanks,
Tom
