Spherical bearings is a major important part of industrial equipment. Bearing problems may lead to costly downtime, equipment damage and malfunction. In addition, large industrial bearings represent a large capital investment.
To achieve high device performance and lowest maintenance cost and reliable operation, it must follow the correct approach. This includes bearing storage, removal, cleaning, inspection and installation.
Any bearing life depends largely on the maintenance and care it receives. This is especially true in industrial applications, often the working conditions, the load weight, dust and pollution are common scale.
Applies to all anti-friction spherical bearing design. Bearing deposit with special anti-corrosion coating bearings to choose from, but most of the bearings are not anti-corrosion materials. In the handling and storage of bearings, care must be taken to ensure that they will not rust or corrode. Even between wet or left unprotected chemical gloved hand or a small amount can cause etching in a small area, which may lead to bearing fatigue.
New and restructured bearing protective coating shipments, usually in a protective cover paper or other packaging, and shipped in a cardboard box or wooden box. When receiving a new or remanufactured bearings, do not remove it from the packaging until ready to install the application.
Do not be stored directly on the concrete floor, where you can collect condensate and bearings. Pallet or on store shelves bearing, bearing in there will not be high humidity or sudden and severe temperature changes may cause condensation to form regions.
Each type of spherical bearing design with unique removal process. Whether bearing type, bearing must be especially careful to be deleted. If done incorrectly, it may damage the bearings, shaft or housing, need expensive repairs. For smaller bearings, bearing a driver to help remove the like. For vehicles equipped with tight fit or press, or have been locked in a shaft where, not by mechanical removal of the bearing puller, bearing inner ring can be heated in order to reduce the relocation. Heat lamp or other heating devices can be used. If a torch, it will change the performance of the bearing and the bearing steel must be discarded.
    In some special operating conditions, spherical bearings can get a longer life of the conventional calculation, especially in the case of light load. These special operating condition is, when the rolling surface (track and rolling member) by a lubricant film to effectively separate and restrictions may result in contamination of surface damage. In fact, bearing in ideal conditions FAQ-called permanent bearing life is possible.
