Bearings are important parts in mechanical equipment. In order to ensure the best performance and stable work of the bearings, correct installation and operation and reasonable maintenance are very important.

Lubrication is the key

Choose the right lubrication system and high-quality lubricant. The lubricating oil film separates the surfaces of the oil film that are in contact with each other and provides the necessary protection against corrosion and wear. Therefore, for all rotating or reciprocating parts, especially bearings and gears, the lubricating oil film is not available lack. In the case of splash lubrication or circulating lubrication systems, the oil film can also transfer heat.

Plants often suffer from unnecessary shutdowns and deteriorating equipment due to improper lubrication. Insufficient oil supply can cause increased wear and temperature rise, resulting in excessive wear and / or early bearing failure and damage. Excessive lubrication, especially for high-speed equipment, will generate excessive heat due to oil agitation, chemical degradation of the lubricant, and damage to the bearings.

Proper assembly is very important

During assembly or installation, if the internal clearance of the bearing is too large or too small, or in some cases, the preload is too high, which may cause early damage and shorten the bearing life. In addition to causing downtime and costly maintenance, improper bearing assembly and installation may have more negative effects, such as affecting the operation of other parts and shortening their service life.

Assembly, installation and regular maintenance according to the equipment manufacturer's instruction manual are the best way to prevent problems. If time is tight, you can push forward the adjustment device or remove the gasket to correct the too loose tapered rolling bearing set
