“Steel-on-steel bearings require lubrication at regular intervals. Lubricants that contain rust-inhibiting compounds are desirable. Lubrication should be considered for some maintenance-free bearings because friction is reduced, the lubrication acts as a seal to prevent dirt from entering the bearing, and corrosion protection is increased. Certain types of lubricants are detrimental to some maintenance-free bearings and other types of maintenance-free bearings should not be lubricated at all”.[1]
