To determine whether the bearing can be used again, it is necessary to consider the degree of bearing damage, machine performance, importance, operating conditions, inspection cycle, etc. If the bearing is found to be damaged or abnormal, the contents of the injury section will be identified and the countermeasures will be developed. In addition, the inspection results, if there are the following defects, the bearing can no longer be used, need to replace the new bearing.
a. Cracks and fragments appear in any of the inner and outer rings, rolling elements, and cages.
b. Any one of the inner and outer rings and the rolling elements are peeled off.
c. The raceway surface, ribs, and rolling elements are significantly khocked.
d. The cage is worn out or the rivets are loose.
e. The raceway surface, rolling elements are rusted and flawed.
f. There are significant indentations and marks on the rolling surface and rolling elements.
g. Creep on the inner diameter of the inner ring or the outer diameter of the outer ring.
h. Superheated and discolored.
i. Grease seal bearing seals and dust caps are damaged.
(1), in-service inspection and troubleshooting
The inspection items in operation include the rolling sound, vibration, temperature, and lubrication status of the bearing. The details are as follows:
First, the rolling sound of the bearing
The sounder is used to check the size and sound quality of the rolling sound of the running bearing. Even if the bearing is slightly peeled off, abnormal sounds and irregular sounds are emitted, which can be distinguished by the sounder.
