The sealed for life wheels replace the standard needle bearings which create sidebar wear from the forced roller contact as the wheels rotate. Metal shavings from wear produce friction which may stop the wheels from turning. This, in turn, creates friction on the rail and increases load for the drive motor. The design of these rollers eliminates any premature sidebar wear due to the roller rubbing on its surface.
