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

Exceeding load capacity leads to deformation and failure

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

Incorrect fitting leads to damage and misalignment.

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
