Common Bearing Wear and Causes
Source: China Bearing Network | Time: 2013-07-16
Bearing failure can occur due to a variety of factors, even when the bearing is used correctly. While bearings are designed to last until the end of their fatigue life, unexpected damage can happen before that. This early failure, which occurs before the expected lifespan, is often referred to as a fault or incident caused by improper application or environmental conditions. Several factors contribute to premature bearing wear. These include insufficient lubrication, incorrect installation, poor oil supply design, contamination from external particles, misalignment of the bearing housing, and excessive shaft deflection. Additionally, thermal expansion of the shaft or housing may also lead to stress on the bearing components. When a bearing fails, it's not always easy to determine the exact cause without a thorough investigation. However, understanding the operating conditions, the surrounding structure, and the events leading up to the failure can help identify the root causes. By analyzing these factors, it becomes possible to prevent similar issues in the future. Proper maintenance, correct installation, and regular inspection are essential for extending the life of bearings and reducing the risk of unexpected failures.
