Useful tips for Maximising Bearing Service Life

Every bearing has a pre-calculated service life, however research has shown that two thirds fall short of their potential lifecycle.
Here i listed down 10 points plan to help you to get the most from their bearings.

1. Select the correct bearing

2. Fix and align

16%  of premature failures are as a result of incorrect fittings. Adhere to correct fitting practices and you can help to extend the bearing’s service life and reduce costs over time.

3. Correct sealing arrangement

4. Maintain lubrication

36 % of premature bearing failures occur as a result of incorrect specification and the inadequate application of lubricant. Getting the right lubricant, in the right quantity and at the correct interval levels is therefore essential. 

5.  Monitor bearing condition 

6. Plan for replacement 

No matter how much you care for your bearings, they will need to be replaced at some point or another and condition monitoring can help you to plan for that replacement.
