At Emerson Bearing, we know just how vital it is to select the perfect bearing for the specific task at hand. If you're looking to extend the lifespan of your bearing, it's essential to first identify the factors that contribute to wear and tear. By addressing these issues early on, you can take steps to either prevent them or resolve them effectively.
When it comes to extending the service life of your bearings, there are several key considerations to keep in mind:
• **High Speeds** – Operating a rolling bearing beyond its recommended speed limits can lead to accelerated wear and premature failure. High speeds, combined with vibrations and stresses from unbalanced forces, can cause significant damage to the guiding surfaces of the cage, leading to uneven operation. A straightforward solution is to ensure that the guiding faces of the cage are adequately lubricated. Additionally, if the bearing experiences light loading under high-speed conditions, slippage between the rolling elements and the raceway can occur, causing wear. In such cases, increasing the load on the bearing can help mitigate this issue.
• **Rapid Changes in Speed** – Sudden accelerations and decelerations can lead to slippage between the rolling elements and the raceways, resulting in extensive wear. To prevent this, consider using bearings with smaller cross-sections and rolling elements, or opt for bearings with cages made of lightweight materials like metal or plastic. Alternatively, you can preload the bearing axially to stabilize it.
• **Proper Lubrication and Maintenance** – As mentioned earlier, lubrication plays a critical role in maintaining the health of a bearing. However, the lifespan of any lubricant is finite. Factors such as age, environmental conditions, and mechanical stress can degrade the lubricant, leading to wear. Regular maintenance through relubrication can indeed extend the life of your bearing, though it might not always be cost-effective for every application.
• **Effective Sealing** – Selecting the appropriate type of seal and corresponding seal grease can dramatically enhance the service life of your bearings by keeping dirt and particles away from the critical components.
• **Service Life and Operational Safety** – Often, a bearing will reach the end of its service life before the machinery it supports. While unexpected bearing failures can disrupt operations, they usually don’t come as surprises. Wear typically builds up gradually, and regular monitoring can provide the necessary operational safety. The frequency of inspections should depend on the load placed on the bearing.
