single sealed vs shield ball bearings
(OP)
Hello everyone,
This may seem as too basic a question but nevertheless, I am having a problem in understanding what is the difference if any, between a SEAL as opposed to a SHIELD bearing.

Shield has no rubbing, just a close tolerance to minimize but not eliminate contamination (or keep the grease in, depending on what you think the function is). Shield is made out of steel.

I was thinking that it was the number of points of sealing that determined if it was a single or double.

That's an exception, not the rule.
