Polyurethane ball bearing dust cover is a part of the suspension, which is designed to protect the ball joints from damage and external aggressive factors. During operation, the car suspension is subjected to constant exposure to sand, dirt, road reagents, which lead to accelerated wear of ball joints. For this reason, the integrity of the dust cover plays a key role in the longevity of the ball bearing.
The main functions of the ball bearing dust cover include:
Protecting the ball joint from abrasive materials that lead to accelerated wear and play.
Preventing the loss of lubricants inside the housing.
Ensuring long-life operation of the assembly as a whole.
Among the common variants of anther designs are: with and without a ring. The first variant provides a more reliable fixation in the body due to the fixing ring.
A serviceable ball bearing provides safe behaviour of the car on the road. In case of its critical wear and further failure, the movement of the car becomes impossible. In addition, the breakage of the ball bearing at the time of driving the car can lead to an emergency situation.
You can buy polyurethane ball bearing dust cover for various models (Skoda, Toyota, Nissan, Seat, Citroen, etc.) in the PolyPro online shop with quality guarantee at an affordable price.
When it is necessary to change the ball bearing dust cover
It is not difficult to detect the signs of ball bearing dust cover damage, but the most important thing is to do it in time. Otherwise, it will be necessary to replace the ball bearing assembly. This unit is a consumable part of the car, but the integrity of the dust cover significantly affects the service life of the whole part.
To detect a defect in the dust cover, it is enough to conduct a visual inspection of the part on the inspection pit or turn the wheels as far as possible to the stop, opening access to the place of attachment of the ball bearing. The presence of any external damage to the dust cover (cuts, cracking, loose fit) requires urgent replacement. You can carry out the repair yourself, having first dismantled the ball bearing from its seat. Then check the serviceability of the part, remove the old grease and apply a new one. As a rule, ball bearings are not disassembled, but you should lubricate the part that is available. After that, put on a new dust cover and install it in the place of attachment. At the time of installation, care should be taken not to damage the threads and the new ball bearing dust cover.
Important! In case of detection of severe wear (wear) of the ball bearing (damage to the body, significant wear, play, knocking when turning).
the part must be replaced with a new one.
Polyurethane rubber dust covers
In most cases, the ball bearing in most cases prematurely fails due to a damaged ball bearing dust cover, which gets dust and dirt, which is an abrasive material for the parts of the ball bearing connection. The elastic grease absorbs the abrasive substances, which in the process leads to rapid wear. In addition, corrosion of the metal parts develops when moisture gets in.
Modern technologies from the company PolyPro offer to use polyurethane as the main component of anthers, which has a number of advantages, among which are:
Durability. Increase of resource in 3-5 times in comparison with rubber analogues.
Preservation of properties in a wide temperature range (from -25⁰С to +110⁰С). Duster does not lose its shape at high temperature and does not crack at frost.
Resistant to deformation and damage.
Resistance to aggressive substances (oil, dirt, dust).
Possibility to produce a part for different car models including customised ones.
Polyurethane dust covers can also be used for steering rod ends, which have a similar design and principle of operation. In the process of diagnostics and replacement of ball bearing dust covers you should also pay attention to the condition of the lugs.
