Whether the installation of IKO bearings correctly affects the performance and life of the bearings

Bearings are one of the important components on construction machinery. Poor installation will affect their use and even cause failure of construction machinery.

If IKO bearings have foreign matter such as iron filings, burrs, dust, etc., the bearings will generate noise and vibration during operation, and even damage the raceways and rolling elements. Therefore, before installing the IKO bearing, it is necessary to ensure the cleaning of the mounting surface and the installation environment.

Lubrication has a very important influence on the operation and life of the bearing. Grease is made from base oils, thickeners and additives. The performance of the grease is primarily determined by the base oil. Generally low viscosity base oil is suitable for low temperature and high speed; high viscosity is suitable for high temperature and high load.

The thickener is also related to the lubricating properties, and the water resistance of the thickener determines the water resistance of the grease. In principle, the different greases of the brand cannot be mixed, and even the grease of the same thickener may have a bad influence on each other due to the different additives. IKO bearing surface is coated with anti-rust oil, which must be carefully cleaned with clean gasoline or kerosene, and then cleaned with high quality or high temperature high temperature grease for installation. Fully enclosed bearings do not need to be cleaned and refueled.

After the IKO bearing is installed, alignment may result in additional loads, friction and vibration of the bearing if not carefully aligned. These can accelerate fatigue and reduce the life of IKO bearings and can damage the life of other machine parts. In addition, increased vibration and friction can greatly increase energy consumption and risk of premature failure.https://www.supplyforever.com/
