First, the following matters should be noted when using bearings:
1. Keep the bearings and their surroundings clean
Even if the smiling dust that is invisible to the naked eye enters the bearing, it will increase the wear, vibration and noise of the bearing.
2, use the installation carefully
Strong stamping is not allowed. It is not allowed to directly hit the bearing with a hammer. It is not allowed to transmit pressure through the rolling elements.
3, use appropriate and accurate installation tools
Try to use special tools and try to avoid using cloth and short fibers.
4, to prevent bearing corrosion
When taking the bearing directly by hand, wash off the sweat on your hands and apply high-quality mineral oil before handling. Pay special attention to rust prevention during the rainy season and summer.
However, under certain special operating conditions, FAG bearings can achieve longer life than traditional calculations, especially at light loads. These special operating conditions are when the rolling surfaces (tracks and rolling elements) are effectively separated by a lubricant film and the surface damage caused by contaminants is limited. In fact, under ideal conditions, so-called permanent bearing life is possible.
Second, bearing life:
The life of a rolling bearing is defined by the number of revolutions (or the number of hours of operation at a certain speed). Bearings within this life are subject to initial fatigue damage (flaking or missing) on any of their bearing rings or rolling elements. However, whether in the laboratory test or in actual use, it can be clearly seen that the same bearing under the same working conditions has a different actual life. In addition, there are several different definitions of FAG imported bearings "life", one of which is the so-called "working life", which means that the actual life that a bearing can reach before it is damaged is caused by wear and damage, usually not caused by fatigue. It is caused by wear, corrosion, seal damage and other reasons.
Third, the causes and countermeasures of bearing damage:
(1) Why is the bearing worn and damaged?
Only some of the bearings are damaged in practical applications.
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.
However, these types of damage are also related to industry. For example, most of the pulp and paper industry is due to poor lubrication or contamination resulting in bearing damage rather than material fatigue.
