The service life of a bearing refers to the number of revolutions or hours it experiences before pitting corrosion occurs under a certain load. Bearings within this lifespan should experience initial fatigue damage on any of their bearing rings or rolling elements. However, in our daily practical use, it can be clearly observed that bearings with consistent appearance under the same working conditions have significantly different actual lifespans.
There are many factors that affect the service life of bearings. Today, the editor will briefly introduce the impact of bearing maintenance and rust prevention on the service life of bearings?
How often is the bearing maintained? In theory, bearings can be used for 20000-80000 hours, but the specific lifespan depends on factors such as wear and tear during use, working intensity, and later maintenance. How to maintain bearings? In order to fully utilize and maintain their expected performance in the long term, it is necessary to carry out regular maintenance and upkeep (regular inspections). Early detection of faults and prevention of accidents through appropriate regular inspections are crucial for improving productivity and economy. The bearings are coated with an appropriate amount of anti rust oil and packaged with anti rust paper when they leave the factory. As long as the packaging is not damaged, the quality of the bearings will be guaranteed. However, for long-term storage, it is advisable to store on a shelf 30cm above the ground under conditions of humidity below 65% and temperature around 20 ℃. In addition, the storage location should avoid direct sunlight or contact with cold walls. When cleaning and inspecting the bearings, first use photography or other methods to make a good appearance record. In addition, it is necessary to confirm the amount of remaining lubricant and sample the lubricant before cleaning the bearings.
