What are the bearing failures caused by improper use

  • 2019/6/6 17:35:07

Bearings are one of the most important parts in mechanical equipment. They are found in almost every machine, machine, equipment, and even toy we have seen. The more technically demanding the machinery, The higher the accuracy and strength of the components, the more demanding they are. As a precision running component, bearing failure often occurs due to improper use, which causes the working efficiency of the mechanical equipment using the bearing to be greatly reduced, or even unable to work. In addition to the unqualified bearing products caused by the processing and inspection of the manufacturer, we also summarized the bearing failures and use recommendations caused by improper use for your reference.

First, the bearing is deformed and has errors

1. Use brute force during installation and directly hit the bearing with a hammer to damage the bearing; it is the primary factor that causes deformation.

2. The installation is not in place, there is an error in installation or it is not installed in the bearing position, and the bearing clearance is too small. The inner and outer rings are not at the same center of rotation, causing misalignment.

Suggestion: Choose proper or professional bearing installation tools, and use special instruments to test after installation.

Serious wear and tear

According to the investigation, poor lubrication is one of the primary factors that cause premature bearing damage. The main factors include: the lubricant or lubricating oil is not filled in time; the lubricant or lubricating oil is not filled in place; the lubricant or lubricating oil is not selected properly; the lubrication method is not accurate and so on.

Recommendation: Select the correct lubricant or lubricating oil, and use the lubrication method.

Third, premature wear

Contamination can also cause premature bearing damage. Pollution means that sand, metal chips, etc. enter the bearing. The main reasons include: opening the bearing package prematurely before use, causing pollution; the working environment during installation is not clean, causing pollution; the working environment of the bearing is not clean, and the working medium is polluted.

Suggestions: Do not unpack the bearings before use; keep the installation environment clean during installation, clean the bearings to be used, and strengthen the sealing device of the bearings.

Fourth, fatigue damage

Fatigue failure is a common way of bearing damage. Common causes of fatigue damage may be: long-term overload operation of bearings; failure to repair in a timely manner; improper maintenance; aging equipment.

Recommendation: Choose the appropriate bearing type and replace fatigue bearings in a timely manner.

If you can use the bearings, you can choose the correct bearing model and use and maintain the bearings correctly according to the actual situation. I believe that the bearing failures listed above can be greatly avoided, thereby reducing our losses. If you want to buy cross roller bearings, turntable bearings or industrial robot bearings, you can leave a message on the website of Luoyang Hongyuan Bearing Technology Co., Ltd. or call customer service for consultation.
