These high temperatures can cause bearing seals to melt, char and breakdown, along with damaging the inner components of the bearing. Paver Bearing Environments Taking all these conditions into account, Sealmaster engineers have over 50 years of design, test and application experience directed toward providing performance solutions for the demanding conditions of the paving industry. Asphalt mix can solidify on bearing seals and races when machines are shut down. Upon start-up, seals can be torn off of the bearing due to the solidified asphalt. This leaves the bearing exposed to contaminants and incapable of containing the lubricant. The abrasive conditions to which paver bearings are exposed can severely damage rubber lip seals. Plus, abrasive aggregate can erode metal seal components. Emerson Power Transmission 909 N.
