Handle and store properly
To avoid contamination including moisture, dust or dirt from entering the bearing, the bearing should be handled and stored properly. First of all, the bearing should be placed horizontally in a clean, dry environment with the original packaging; It should not be stored in the same warehouse as the chemical products; the relative humidity of the warehouse should not exceed 65%; the bearing should not be stored on the ground; Do not remove the packaging before installation, otherwise the bearing may be exposed to corrosion or pollutants.
Use professional tools
Use professional tools in the process of bearing installation and dismantlement, professional tools are needed. For example, when we use induction heater, the temperature should be strictly controlled below 120 ℃.
Check before installation
Be familiar with the correct installation method.
Correct installation
During installation, the pressure should be applied at the correct position, otherwise the rolling element may be damaged.
Proper lubrication
Incorrect use of lubricant is one of the main causes of bearing failure. Do not use incorrect lubricants; Do not use too much or too little lubricants. It is necessary to consider the environmental conditions, temperature, speed and load rating conditions to select the right lubricant and lubrication methods.
Avoid working temperature out of range
The working temperature of the bearing should be within the limit temperature range, otherwise the bearing capacity will be reduced and the bearing will fail early if it works for a long time.In addition, during regular maintenance, attention should be paid to the discoloration of rings, rolling elements and cages, as this may indicate overheating.
Avoid corrosion
If the bearing is exposed to humid environment, water intrusion may result in bearing corrosion. In the application of corrosive environment, the key is to choose the right bearing. Different materials and sealing forms should be selected for bearing design.
Choose alternatives carefully
Replace it with a bearing of the same or higher quality as the original bearing. In the long run, low-quality alternatives can lead to greater losses.
Monitoring
Excessive noise, vibration, temperature rise, all these condition may be the signals of problems. If there is something abnormal, it is necessary to monitor and find out the cause.
