59mm Simplicity Dust Cap
59mm Simplicity dust cap is a replacement dust or grease cap.
The simplicity dust cap fits all simplicity-bearing kits.
What is the purpose of the grease cap?
- To catch grease?
- Or to prevent the ingress of dust?
Specifications

- Total Height: 35mm
- Height Lip Insert: 7mm
Some hubs do not have machined chamfers in the boss and rear of the hub.
59mm dust cap insertion can be difficult. Using a pipe of the correct diameter significantly improves the ease with which the dust cap can be installed.
Dust cap can become loose if hammered into position too frequently, even on the first insert.
Once the dust cap is home, stop hitting it. An extra hit can make it loose-fitting.
Question: Should I fill my grease cap full of grease?
Answer: No. The grease cap’s purpose is to catch excess grease when the bearing cavity is pressurised, which occurs during rotation at high speed.
Ideally, the grease cap should be inserted dry. However, grease is generally oversupplied during the greasing process.
The grease will exit the bearing cavity at high speeds and during initial heating and cooling.
The 59mm Simplicity Dust Cap is designed to prevent grease from re-entering the bearing cavity once it is trapped inside. This technical explanation outlines how this product functions and its significance in maintaining optimal bearing performance.
Key Features
- Preventative Design: The grease cap effectively seals the bearing, ensuring that any grease that becomes trapped does not re-enter the bearing cavity. This is crucial for preventing contamination and maintaining bearing integrity.
- Robust Materials: Made from durable materials, the dust cap withstands environmental factors while ensuring a secure fit over the bearing.
- Easy Installation: The design allows for quick and straightforward installation, ensuring that users can easily apply the dust cap without specialized tools.
How It Works
- Sealing Mechanism: Once installed, the dust cap creates a tight seal around the bearing. This prevents external debris from entering while also keeping the grease contained.
- Grease Retention: If any grease becomes trapped in the cap, it cannot return to the bearing cavity, ensuring that the bearing remains free from excess grease that could lead to performance issues.
- Maintenance: Regular checks should be conducted to ensure the dust cap is intact and functioning as intended, helping to prolong the life of the bearing.
Conclusion
The 59mm Simplicity Dust Cap plays a critical role in bearing maintenance by preventing grease from re-entering the bearing cavity. Understanding its technical specifications and functionality can assist users in making informed decisions about their trailer parts.
