In the use of bearings, there are many forms of bearing failure. From the overall situation, the forms of bearing failure can be divided into four types: improper assembly, improper lubrication, pollution and fatigue. Then, when the bearing fails, what proportion of these failure modes do they account for? Our imported bearing manufacturers share the approximate proportion of bearing failure forms.
1. Improper assembly - 16%
In general, the proportion of improper assembly of bearings is 16%, and 16% of early failure of various bearings is caused by improper assembly (usually due to excessive force...) and incorrect use of assembly tools. Some equipment requires correct and effective installation and disassembly by mechanical, hydraulic or heating methods. Using a full set of tools and equipment of various professional engineering service technologies, these tools become simple, fast and more profitable. Using special tools and technology for professional assembly is a solution to extend the running time of the machine to the limit of Zui.
2. Pollution - 14%
Bearing pollution generally accounts for 14%. Bearings are precision parts. If bearings and greases are polluted, they will not operate effectively. In addition, since maintenance free sealed bearings that have been filled with grease only account for a small part of all bearings in use, at least 14% of all bearings that fail in advance are caused by pollution.
3. Fatigue - 34%
Bearing fatigue failure generally accounts for 34%. If the machine is overloaded, used or maintained improperly, the bearings will be affected, and 34% of the bearings that cause premature failure are caused by fatigue. Because the bearing will give "advance warning" in case of improper maintenance or excessive stress, the condition monitoring equipment can be used for detection and analysis, so sudden or unplanned failure can be avoided.
4. Improper lubrication - 36%
The improper lubrication of bearings generally accounts for 36%. Although various "maintenance free" sealed bearings can be installed, 36% of the early failure bearings are still caused by incorrect technical application and improper use of lubricating grease. Any bearing with improper lubrication will inevitably fail ahead of its normal service life. Since bearings are usually difficult to load and unload in mechanical equipment, problems will occur if they are not lubricated frequently. When manual maintenance cannot be achieved, develop a fully automatic lubrication system to achieve better lubrication effect. As long as high-quality grease, tools and technology are used for effective lubrication as required, it will help to significantly reduce downtime.
