1) These bearings are open on both sides. They are lubricated by oil bath or oil mist. 2) These bearings are pre-greased by Flowserve. Replacement bearings will generally not be pre-greased, so grease must be applied by the user. They have a single shield, which is located on the side next to the grease buffer, or reservoir. The bearings draw grease from the reservoir as it is needed.
