Cleaning of KOYO bearings: When disassembling KOYO bearings, first record the appearance of KOYO bearings, confirm the residual amount of lubricants, and then wash the KOYO bearings after sampling the lubricants for inspection. As a cleaning agent, gasoline and kerosene are commonly used. The cleaning of the removed KOYO bearings is divided into coarse cleaning and fine cleaning. They are placed in the container respectively, and the metal mesh bottom is placed first so that the KOYO bearing does not directly contact the container. In the case of rough cleaning, if the KOYO bearing is rotated with dirt, it will damage the rolling surface of the KOYO bearing and should be noted. In the rough cleaning oil, use a brush to remove the grease and the adhesive. After it is almost clean, it is transferred to the fine wash.
Fine washing is to carefully clean the KOYO bearing while rotating in the cleaning oil. In addition, the cleaning oil should always be kept clean.
Inspection and judgment of KOYO bearings: In order to judge whether the removed KOYO bearings can be used, check them after cleaning the KOYO bearings. Check the condition of the raceway surface, the rolling surface, the mating surface, the wear of the cage, the increase of the KOYO bearing clearance, and the damage and abnormality that are irrelevant in dimensional accuracy. For non-separable small ball KOYO bearings, use one hand to support the inner ring horizontally and rotate the outer ring to check if it is smooth.
Separate KOYO bearings such as tapered roller bearings can be inspected separately for the rolling surfaces of the rolling elements and the outer ring.
Large KOYO bearings cannot be rotated by hand. Pay attention to the appearance of rolling elements, raceways, cages, ribs, etc. The higher the importance of KOYO bearings, the more careful inspection is required.
