COMMON BEARING PROBLEMS AND HOW TO FIX THEM!
PROBLEM #1-IMPROPER LUBRICATION
X Over-lubrication causes overheating and seal damage
X Under-lubrication increases friction and wear.
Fix lt:
√Use the right lubricant for your application
√Follow recommended lubrication intervals
√Apply just the right amount; not too much, not too little
PROBLEM #2-CONTAMINATION
X Foreign particles cause abrasion and wear.
X Water and moisture lead to corrosion and rust
Fix lt:
√Use sealed or shielded bearings in harsh environments
√Regularly inspect for contaminants and clean machinery
PROBLEM #3-MISALIGNMENT
X Bearings wear unevenly and fail prematurely.
X Increased vibration leads to noise and inefficiency
Fix lt:
√Ensure precise shaft alignment during installation.
√Use proper mounting tools; avoid hammering!
√Regularly check for signs of misalignment
PROBLEM #4一EXCESSIVE LOAD & SPEED
X Exceeding load capacity leads to deformation and failure
X Overspeeding causes excessive heat and early wear
Fix lt:
√Use bearings rated for the right load & speed.
√Monitor operating conditions to avoid overloading
√Upgrade to heavy-duty bearings for demanding applications
PROBLEM #5-POOR INSTALATION
X Incorrect fitting leads to damage and misalignment.
X Using the wrong tools can weaken bearing structure
Fix lt:
√Always follow manufacturer installation guidelines
√Use precision tools for mounting and dismounting
√Train personnel in proper handling & installation
