Important Considerations for Regular Maintenance of Imported Bearings

---

When performing regular maintenance on imported bearings, it's crucial to carefully inspect the bearings that are removed during equipment servicing. This includes evaluating whether secondary components can be reused and documenting the findings. It is essential to thoroughly examine and record the condition of the removed bearings, including their appearance and the remaining lubricant levels. Proper cleaning of the bearings should also be done before further analysis. Next, check the raceway surface, rolling elements, and cage for any signs of damage or abnormal wear. Pay close attention to the running track of the raceway to determine if the bearing can still be used. Factors such as the degree of damage, machine function, importance, operating conditions, and inspection frequency should all be considered when deciding the future use of the bearing. If any damage or abnormalities are detected in the imported bearings, it’s important to investigate the cause based on the visual inspection and take corrective actions. If the following issues are found, the bearing should no longer be used and must be replaced with a new one: - Cracks or fractures in either the inner or outer ring, rolling elements, or cage. - Flaking or peeling on the inner or outer rings and rolling elements. - Obvious scoring or damage on the raceway, ribs, or rolling elements. - Severe wear on the cage or loose rivets. - Rust or defects on the raceway or rolling elements. - Obvious dents or marks on the rolling surfaces or rolling elements. - Creep on the inner diameter of the inner ring or outer diameter of the outer ring. - Severe discoloration due to overheating. - Severe damage to the seal or dust cover of sealed bearings. Regular maintenance not only extends the lifespan of the bearings but also ensures the smooth operation of the entire system. Proper handling, inspection, and timely replacement of damaged bearings are key to maintaining high performance and reducing unexpected downtime.
