It's exactly what it says - a hub that has some sort of seal to protect the bearings from dirt and water. IT's not good enough to be called fully sealed, but it's better than an unsealed hub.

What is the spacer length of a 24inch bmx rear hub?
Depends on the bike frame..
Can a 9 tooth driver fit on any bmx bike hub?
No. a 9T sprocket will only fit a cassette hub, and not freewheel hubs.
Can you put a haro sprocket on any other bmx bike?
Probably. Today BMXes can have either a freewheel hub or a cassette hub, but as long as you stay within the hub type you can move parts from one bike to another.
Can you put a bmx bike in fixed gear mode?
Kinda, sorta. You can certainly (have someone) build a BMX wheel around a fixie hub. I suppose you could somehow disable the freewheeling action of a regular hub too, but I wouldn't recommend it. Putting back pressure on the pedals on a bike that hasn't a real fixie hub can cause the sprocket to unscrew.
How do you make a bmx bike have back pedal?
You need the right kind of hub for that. If you haven't, buying a new rear wheel - with the right kind of hub - is probably the sensible option.
You have an ABD bmx rear wheel that came fully assembled on an ABD 720 bmx bike can you replace the hub in it with a federal freecoaster hub?
Yes you can.... you can put any hub, spoke, and rim combinations together...maybe a few ecceptions but you can deffinetly do that... just bring the parts to your local shop and have them lace it.
What is a gear shaft on a bmx bike?
It'd be a fairly strange BMX if it has a gear shaft. Most "real" BMXes are single speed, their driveline consists of cranks, a bottom bracket and the rear hub. No gear shaft there.
What is the smallest number of teeth you can get on a BMX freewheel?
If you have a flip-flop BMX hub, you can put a 14T on the smaller diameter side of the hub. If you have a cassette hub, you can get as small as 11T.
Is a fs20 bike is a bmx?
I'd say no. It has suspension, which makes it heavy and sluggish in handling. It also has an externally geared rear hub, which is likely to get banged up real quick during the kind of use BMX bikes usually have to put up with.
What company makes the best hub for a bmx bike?
There's too much room for personal preferences for there to be a solid answer to that, it's like asking for the best candy, or best band.
Can you take a hub off a bmx and put it on a dirt jumper 26 inch?
Depends on what you mean and what the different bikes are like.If you really mean hub:The hub is the center part of the wheel, that holds the wheel axle and the spokes, and in some cases the brake rotor.Most 26" MTBs these days use dic brakes, while BMXes mostly use rim brakes. And to be able to fit a brake rotor to the finished wheel, you need to start with a disc brake hub, which a BMX hub is unlikely to be.But using a rim brake BMX hub to build into a rim brake MTB wheel - no problemAlso, most MTBs use 32 spokes, while for BMX, 36 spoke is more common. You need to match hub spoke count to rim spoke count to avoid complicated builds.If you mean wheel:BMX regular size is 20" against MTB regular size 26". You'll get all sorts of troubles by dropping 6" from the wheel diameter. The bike will handle differently, and the pedals will drop a lot closer to the ground.
How do you put a 9 tooth back wheel sprocket on a bmx?
change out the hub
