Bearing Overhaul

In general, the correct use of bearings can achieve fatigue life. However, if accidental early damage occurs, it can no longer be used. Unlike fatigue life, this early damage is called a failure or accident. It is caused by inadequate consideration of installation, use and lubrication, foreign matter invading from the outside or insufficient research on shafts and bearing housings. The damage status of the bearing, such as the abrasion of the ring flange of the roller bearing, may be due to insufficient lubricant, inappropriate grades, defective oil supply and drainage structure, foreign body intrusion, bearing installation errors, or excessive shaft deflection. It may also be caused by a combination of the above reasons.

Therefore, it is difficult to know the true cause of the damage only by investigating bearing damage. However, if you fully understand the machine, working conditions and the surrounding structure of the bearing, and understand the situation before and after the failure, and then analyze the bearing damage and various related causes, you can prevent similar failures from happening again. Hanger bearing units supplier share for you:

Bearing cleaning:

When repairing the disassembled bearing, first record the bearing appearance, confirm the remaining amount of lubricant, and clean the bearing after sampling. As the cleaning agent, gasoline and kerosene are commonly used.

The dismantled bearing is cleaned, divided into rough and fine washing. Put a metal mesh in the container first, so that the bearing does not directly contact the dirt in the container. During rough cleaning, if the bearing rotates with dirt, it will damage the rolling surface of the bearing, so you should pay attention to it. In the rough wash oil, use a brush to remove grease and stickies. After it is basically clean, switch to fine cleaning.

Fine cleaning is to carefully wash the bearing while rotating it in the cleaning oil. In addition, the cleaning oil should be changed frequently to keep it clean.

Zinc Alloy Bearing

Maintenance and judgment of zinc alloy bearing

When judging whether the disassembled bearing can be reused, check it after the bearing is cleaned, and carefully check the condition of the raceway surface, rolling surface, mating surface, wear of the cage, whether the bearing clearance increases and whether it affects the reduction of dimensional accuracy. Damage and abnormality. Non-separable small ball bearings, etc., use a single-handed flat end inner ring and rotate the outer ring to check whether it is smooth.

Separate bearings, such as tapered roller bearings, can inspect the rolling elements and the raceway surfaces of the outer ring separately.

Because large bearings cannot be rotated by hand, pay attention to check the appearance of rolling elements, raceway surfaces, cages, ribs, etc. The more important the bearing, the more careful inspection is required.

When judging whether the bearing can be used again, it should be determined according to the relevant factors such as the degree of damage to the bearing, mechanical properties, importance, operating conditions, and inspection cycle. However, if the following defects are found during inspection, the bearings cannot be used continuously and new bearings need to be replaced.

(a) Any one of the inner ring, outer ring, rolling element, and cage is cracked or chipped.

(b) Any one of the ferrule and rolling element is broken.

(c) There are obvious abrasions on rolling surfaces, ribs and rolling elements.

(d) The cage is worn or the rivets are obviously loose.

(e) There are rust or scars on the raceway surface and rolling elements.

(f) There are severe indentations or bruises on the raceway surface and rolling elements.

(g) There is significant creep on the inner ring inner diameter surface or the outer ring outer diameter surface.

(h) Discoloration due to overheating.

(i) Greased bearings, seals or dust caps are severely damaged.
