The maintenance and upkeep of bearings are crucial in the operation of mechanical equipment. For bearings, maintenance work mainly focuses on three key aspects. Today, we will explore the truth.

Ensure lubrication and cleanliness of bearings: Before inspecting the bearings, it is necessary to thoroughly clean the bearing surface and disassemble the components near the bearings. It is particularly important to note that oil seals are highly vulnerable components, and excessive force should be avoided when inspecting and disassembling bearings to prevent damage to the parts. If problems are found with the oil seal or its surrounding parts during the inspection process, they should be replaced immediately to prevent bearing damage caused by poor oil seals.

The quality of lubricants for bearings: The lifespan of bearings is not only affected by their usage and maintenance methods, but the quality of lubricants also plays a crucial role. The method of checking the bearing lubricant includes rubbing a small amount of lubricant between the fingers, feeling for contaminants, or applying a thin layer of lubricant on the back of the hand for sealing inspection. If any problems are found, the lubricant should be replaced in a timely manner.

Attention: Before using engine oil, it is advisable to filter it first. For bearings lubricated with grease, when replacing the grease, the cleaning tool used should avoid touching any part of the bearing to prevent residual fibers from inserting between the rolling components and causing damage.

The working environment of bearings: When inspecting bearings, they should be avoided from being exposed to contaminated or humid environments. If work is interrupted, cover the equipment with oil paper, plastic sheets, or similar materials.

The working environment of bearings is equally important. The premature end of the service life of bearings in many machines is largely due to an unfavorable working environment. By focusing on these three key points, we are committed to improving the efficiency and lifespan of bearings, providing a solid guarantee for the stable operation of the machinery industry.
