How to maintain bearings?

Bearings are important components in mechanical equipment. In life, we will encounter many vehicles and daily necessities with bearings. How can technicians keep bearings running longer? This requires regular maintenance of the bearings. Bearings can be maintained in the following ways.

It is a key issue to first consider under what conditions the bearing is installed and maintained. Has it been cleaned with new oil during maintenance? Whether the towels are clean or not, these issues must also be taken into consideration, and a clean installation environment must be ensured, so that the load bearing will be guaranteed.

After cleaning the bearings, they need to be re-greased. So what is the quality of the lubricating grease purchased? Greases are made from additives, thickeners and base oils. Different types and different grades of grease of the same type have great differences in performance. The performance of grease is mainly determined by the base oil. The thickener is also related to the lubricating performance, and the water resistance of the thickener determines the water resistance of the grease. It should be noted that different greases cannot be mixed.

When the bearing is installed and disassembled directly to knock the bearing, the installation and disassembly of the bearing should be carried out with professional disassembly tools. In other respects, pay attention to the radial clearance of the bearing. The appropriate gap must be selected according to the conditions. Reasonable maintenance of bearings can help prolong the service life of bearings. There are many details in bearing maintenance, so you should be careful and not careless.
