Four reasons for bearing damage and attention to maintenance

Everyone knows that bearings are precision parts. They require a very cautious attitude when using them. That is, they use high-performance bearings. If they are used improperly, they can not achieve the expected performance and easily damage the bearings. Most of the bearings are damaged for many reasons - beyond the original estimated load, non-effective seals, too tight bearing clearance caused by too small bearing clearance. Any of these factors have their particular type of damage and leave a special mark of damage.

    Therefore, inspecting the bearing of the damaged shaft, in many cases, its possible cause can be found. In general, one-third of the bearing damage is caused by fatigue damage, and the other third is caused by poor lubrication. The other third is due to contaminants entering the bearing or improperly installed.

    Therefore, what we want to talk about is how to protect it and extend its service life. The following matters should be noted when using bearings:

    First, keep the bearings and their surroundings clean

I don't need to say it, I know what's going on, even if the dust that is invisible to the naked eye enters the bearing, it will cause the bearing to wear out. It is plain, and the sand in the eyes can't be bitten. It is a truth!

    Second, use the installation carefully and accurately

It is important not to allow strong stamping, to allow direct impact on the bearing with a hammer, and to not allow pressure to be transmitted through the rolling elements.

    Third, use appropriate and accurate installation tools

Try to use special tools and try to avoid using cloth and short fibers.

    Fourth, to prevent the corrosion of the bearing, do not use water bubbles

The bearing is made of stainless steel, but it is also afraid of water. When taking the bearing by hand, wash the sweat on the hand and apply it with high-quality mineral oil before handling. In the rainy season and summer, pay special attention to rust prevention.

    Therefore, inspection of damaged bearings can be found in most cases. In general, one-third of bearing damage is caused by fatigue damage, and the other third is due to poor lubrication. One third is caused by contaminants entering the bearing or improperly installed.

  Bearing life is a certain number of years, if we use it well, normal attention to the above four points of use, the bearing will fully play its role!
