How do high reliability machines seal their bearings from dust/sand intrusion (particularly military aviation)? I've heard of shielded, sealed, Teflon sealed, centrifugally sealed, oil bath.

Bearings are sized for a given life/reliability based on loads and the fatigue of the materials that they are made out of (440C for example). If 440C has a fatigue limit, isn't there a load that the bearing would be able to handle forever?
