Maintenance and upkeep of bearings

Update:31 May
Rolling bearings are widely used as important mechanical basic components in various fields of the national economy and national defense. The machinery and working environment for using rolling bearings vary greatly, so special attention should be paid to the maintenance of bearings to improve their service life. The installation of rolling bearings is a precision component with high dimensional precision. If installed improperly, it will lose its due precision and performance, and even cause bearing failure in severe cases. Therefore, the site and installation tools for installing bearings must be clean to prevent various particles from entering the interior of the bearings. When installing and disassembling bearings, direct hammering should not be used, and uniform pressure should be applied. When there is a large interference between the shaft and the bearing, the bearing should be heated and immediately installed.

Rust prevention of finished bearing products

Bearings are precision mechanical components. From the product leaving the factory to a longer circulation process. In order to prevent rusting of bearings during transportation or storage under various environmental conditions, rust prevention treatment must be carried out on them. According to the provisions of the national GB/TS597 standard. The rust prevention period of bearings is six months. The rust prevention period for general bearings is one year, and for bushings with high usage requirements, the rust prevention period is two years. Due to various reasons, bearings cannot be used during the rust prevention period. When the bearing rust prevention period is reached, the original rust inhibitor should be removed.
