At Emerson Bearing, we know just how critical it is to select the perfect bearing for each specific application. Ensuring that your bearing lasts as long as possible starts with understanding what can lead to wear and tear. By identifying these factors early, you can take steps to prevent them or address them effectively.
In many cases, bearing failure isn’t sudden—it builds up over time. Regular checks can help you stay ahead of any potential issues. Let’s explore some common causes of wear and how to mitigate them:
**High Speeds**: Operating a bearing beyond its recommended speed limit can accelerate wear and lead to premature failure. When combined with vibrations from unbalanced forces, this can severely impact the guiding faces of the cage, causing uneven operation. Proper lubrication of the cage's guiding faces is essential. Additionally, if the bearing is lightly loaded at high speeds, slippage between the rolling elements and the raceway might occur, leading to wear. Increasing the load on the bearing can help alleviate this issue.
**Rapid Changes in Speed**: Extreme accelerations and decelerations can cause significant wear by inducing slippage between the rolling elements and raceways. To counteract this, consider using bearings with smaller cross-sections and rolling elements, or opt for those with lightweight metal or plastic cages. Preloading the bearing axially is another effective solution.
**Lubrication and Maintenance**: Lubrication is vital for maintaining bearing performance, yet no lubricant lasts forever. Environmental conditions, age, and mechanical stress can degrade lubricants, leading to wear. While routine relubrication can extend bearing life, it may not always be cost-effective depending on your application.
**Sealing**: Selecting the appropriate seals and seal greases for your bearings can dramatically enhance their longevity by keeping out contaminants like dust and debris.
**Service Life and Operational Safety**: Often, a bearing wears out before the machinery it supports does. While unexpected failures can disrupt operations, most failures develop gradually. Monitoring your bearings regularly ensures optimal operational safety. The frequency of inspections depends on the bearing’s workload.
