I am puzzled why the RND roller bearing product does not include this seal for the IMS tube.It would have been an easily added premium feature ?
Two possible reasons:
  1. The RND bearing may be open on the flywheel side to mist lubrication, much like the LN ceramic hybrid bearings, and therefore does not need the pressure lubrication.
  2. Use of a plug in the rear of the IMS shaft may already be covered in a patent.
