Wheel bearing seizure is primarily caused by a lack of lubrication, which can result from insufficient grease or oil, contamination, or prolonged exposure to moisture. Overheating due to excessive friction, often from worn components or incorrect installation, can also lead to bearing failure. Additionally, external factors like road debris or impact damage can compromise the integrity of the bearing, contributing to seizure. Regular maintenance and timely replacement of worn bearings are essential to prevent this issue.

Who invented the roller ball bearing?
It is not known who specifically invented the roller ball bearing. There are examples of their use by the ancient Egyptians. However, it is thought that they may have been invented before the wheel.
What are the Loads on roller and ball bearings?
Most roller bearing systems help create a decreased amount of friction between items, such as a wheel and the axle the wheel has been centered on. This allows the wheel to spin freely on the axle without being bound by the force of friction. It also decreases the force of drag on the wheel as it spins. This allows a wheel to be more easily pushed by any power source applied to it, whether it's an engine or a person pushing a car.
What is a thrust bearing typically used for?
Thrust bearings are a type of rotary bearing designed to support a high axial load while allowing movement between two parts. There are many types of thrust bearings, but they are typically used for automotive assemblies, particularly in wheel hubs and manual transmissions.
