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.

Regular inspection and maintenance: During use, it is necessary to regularly check the operation and performance indicators of the bearings, promptly identify and handle problems, and perform regular maintenance and upkeep to ensure the normal operation and extend the service life of the bearings. In short, when using rolling bearings, it is necessary to pay attention to the above points to ensure the normal operation of the bearings and extend their service life.

1. Cleaning: Disassemble the bearing, record the appearance, and confirm the remaining amount of lubricant. Clean the bearings with cleaning agents such as gasoline or kerosene. Pay attention to protecting the bearings from direct contact with dirt in the container, and avoid damaging the rolling surfaces of the bearings during rough cleaning.
