Self-aligning ball bearing failure cause and operation check work points and daily maintenance skills

After the TIMKEN bearing is installed, check the operation in order to check if the installation is correct. The small machine can be rotated by hand to confirm whether the rotation is smooth. The inspection items have poor operation due to foreign matter, scratches, and indentations. The installation is poor, the torque generated by the mounting is not stable, and the torque is too large due to too small clearance, installation error, and sealing friction. Wait. If there is no abnormality, the power running can be started.
Large machinery cannot be rotated manually, so the power is cut off immediately after the start of the no-load, the machine is idling, and the presence or absence of vibration, noise, and contact of the rotating parts is checked. After confirming that there is no abnormality, the power is turned on.
The power running starts from the no-load low speed and slowly increases to the rated operation of the specified conditions. The items to be checked during the test run are whether there is abnormal sound, change in the temperature of the self-aligning ball bearing, leakage or discoloration of the lubricant, and the like. If an abnormality is found, stop the operation immediately, check the machine, and remove the bearing check if necessary.
TIMKEN bearing temperature can generally be estimated based on the external temperature of the bearing housing. However, it is more accurate to directly measure the temperature of the outer ring of the bearing by using the oil hole. The bearing temperature gradually rises from the start of the operation, and the temperature is usually stable after 1 to 2 hours. If the bearing is poorly installed, the temperature will rise sharply and an abnormally high temperature will occur. The reasons are such as excessive lubricant, too small bearing clearance, poor installation, excessive friction of the sealing device, and the like. In the case of high-speed rotation, the selection of TIMKEN bearing structure and lubrication method is also the cause.
The rotation sound of TIMKEN bearings is checked with a stethoscope, etc., and there are strong metal noise, abnormal sounds, irregular sounds, etc. to explain abnormalities. The reasons are poor lubrication, poor accuracy of the shaft or housing, bearing damage, and foreign matter intrusion.
The surface of the steel under transient high temperature acts on the oxygen in the air and rises into a very thin (20-30 nm) thin layer of iron oxide. It is worth noting that the thickness of the oxide layer is corresponding to the test results of the total thickness of the surface-grinding metamorphic layer. This shows that the thickness of the oxide layer is directly related to the grinding process and is an important indicator of the quality of the grinding.

The importance of proper use of lubricants for the operation of SKF bearings

Of course, if the operating speed of the imported bearings is very low and it is necessary to work in a polluted and humid environment, it is best to fill the SKF housing with grease.
The standard products offered are more than 20,000 types of bearings. In addition to rolling bearings, the Group also manufactures linear bearings, plain bearings, bearing housings, ball and roller screws, textile machinery components, retaining rings, machine tools and various precision mechanical components. With extensive experience in these areas, he has the knowledge and expertise to develop, manufacture and apply a wide range of advanced engineering products. Smaller such as micro-bearings weighing only 0.003 grams, up to each of the thirty-four tons of giant bearings. In addition, a series of bearing repair tools, grease and bearing monitoring instruments (bearing heaters, pullers, etc.) are also available, in order to achieve higher efficiency for bearing users and achieve worry-free operation.
Bearings are precision components, SKF bearings and grease contaminated, will not operate. Bearings In addition, at least 14% of all contaminations that have been sealed with grease are maintenance-free. Only a small portion of all bearings failing early is significantly affected by the use of bearings. Bearings have excellent manufacturing and design capabilities to provide a wide range of harsh working condition sealing solutions.
The grease chemically reacts with the oxygen in the air to produce an acidic substance. It first consumes the antioxidant additive in the fat, but to a certain extent, the organic acid formed will corrode the metal component and destroy the structure of the fat to make it drop. Decrease, increase in viscosity of base oil, and deterioration of fluidity. A large number of tests have shown that the higher the temperature, the more pronounced the decline in grease life. For example, when the temperature is between 90 and 100 degrees, the life of the grease is reduced by about half for every 19 degrees of temperature increase. At 10 to 150 degrees, the fat life will be reduced by half for every 15 degrees of temperature increase.
In addition, moisture, dust, and harmful gases in the environment in which the grease is used are also important factors for deterioration. For example, the wear of particles such as copper, iron, lead and bronze in the grease will catalyze the oxidation of the fat. In short, there are many reasons for the failure of grease, sometimes it may be caused by a certain cause, but more is the result of multiple factors acting together, or a breakthrough for one reason, and then other reasons work together.
