How to Extend NAF Ball Bearing Life
Lubrication is the key. Choose a suitable lubrication system and high-quality lubricants. The lubricating oil film separates the oil film surfaces that are in contact with each other due to load and provides the necessary protection against corrosion and wear, so for all rotating or reciprocating parts, especially ball bearings and gears, for proper operation, the lubricating oil film indispensable. In the case of splash lubrication or circulating lubrication systems, the oil film can also transfer heat. Plants often experience unnecessary downtime and equipment deterioration due to improper lubrication. Insufficient oil supply can lead to increased wear and elevated temperatures, resulting in excessive wear and/or premature failure and damage to NAF ball bearings. Excessive lubrication, especially in equipment operating at high speeds, will cause excessive heat due to oil agitation, chemically degrade the lubricating oil, and also cause damage to the ball bearings.
