Judging the fault maintenance method of SKF self-aligning ball bearing in use

SKF bearings exhibit a strong regularity during their use and are very repeatable. Normal high-quality bearings (SKF bearings) have relatively small vibration and noise at the beginning of use, but the spectrum is somewhat scattered and the amplitude is small, which may be due to some defects in the manufacturing process, such as surface burrs.

After a period of motion, the vibration and noise are maintained at a certain level, and the spectrum is very single, only one or two times the frequency. There are very few spectrums above the power frequency, and the state of the self-aligning ball bearings is very stable and enters a stable working period.

After continuing to run, the vibration and noise of SKF bearings begin to increase, and sometimes abnormal sounds appear, but the change of vibration increases slowly. At this time, the bearing kurtness value suddenly reaches a certain value. We believe that SKF bearings are initially faulty at this time.

At this time, it is required to closely monitor the SKF bearing and pay close attention to its changes. After that, the bearing kurtosis value begins to drop rapidly and approaches the normal value, while the vibration and noise begin to increase significantly, and the increase rate begins to accelerate. When the vibration exceeds the vibration standard (such as ISO2372 standard), the bearing kurtosis value also begins. Rapid increase, when both exceed the vibration standard, and the kurtosis value also exceeds the normal value (the available kurtosis is relative to the standard), we believe that the self-aligning ball bearing has entered the late fault production, and it is necessary to repair the equipment in time and replace the SKF bearing.

SKF bearings exhibit late failure characteristics to serious failures (generally bearing damage such as axles, burns, sand cracks, raceways, bead wear, etc.) are not more than one week. The larger the equipment capacity, the faster the speed. The shorter the interval. Therefore, in the actual fault diagnosis of self-aligning ball bearings, once the late fault characteristics are found, the bearing should be judged decisively and the maintenance should be arranged as soon as possible.

The use factors mainly refer to whether the installation adjustment, use and maintenance, maintenance and repair, etc. meet the technical requirements. According to the technical requirements of SKF bearing installation, use, maintenance and maintenance, monitor and check the load, speed, working temperature, vibration, noise and lubrication conditions of the SKF bearing in operation, find the cause and immediately adjust the cause. Make it back to normal.

First of all, when the spindle bearing in the spindle is in operation, it is necessary to fully ensure the lubrication, and the lubricant is periodically added according to the actual use condition, and the oil cannot be cut off for a long time. Therefore, for the user company, a better and more suitable spindle lubricant should be used. The new special spindle oil can significantly improve the lubrication performance, extend the oil change interval, extend the service life of the spindle and the self-aligning ball bearing, and also has better anti-rust and anti-corrosion properties.

IKO cam bearing lubrication technique to solve the raceway noise analysis

The source of the rolling sound is caused by the natural vibration of the ferrule after the load. Due to the elastic contact of the ferrule and the rolling body, a nonlinear vibration system is formed. When the lubrication or machining accuracy is not high, the natural vibration associated with this elastic characteristic is excited, and when it is transmitted to the air, it becomes noise. It is well known that even if IKO bearing parts are processed using the most advanced manufacturing techniques in the world, there will always be small geometric errors in the working surface, which will cause small fluctuations between the raceway and the rolling elements to excite the natural vibration of the vibration system.

First, the bearing drip lubrication method

Drip lubrication is suitable for bearing parts that need to be supplied quantitatively to the lubricating oil. It is advisable to drop a single drop every 3-8 seconds. Excessive oil quantity will cause the bearing temperature to increase.

Second, the oil bath lubrication method of cam bearings

Oil bath lubrication is the common lubrication method in most cam bearings and is suitable for lubrication of low and medium speed IKO bearings. A part of the bearing is immersed in the groove, the lubricating oil is brought up by the rotating bearing part, and then flows back to the oil groove oil surface should be slightly lower than the center of the lowest rolling element.

Third, the radiation lubrication of the bearing

    The low pressure oil is injected into the bearing through the nozzle by the oil pump, and the oil injected into the bearing flows into the oil groove through the other end of the bearing. When the bearing rotates at high speed, the rolling element and the cage also cause the surrounding air to flow at a relatively high rotational speed. It is difficult to send the lubricating oil to the bearing in a smooth manner. In this case, it is necessary to spray the smooth oil with low-pressure radiation. In the bearing, the position of the nozzle should be placed between the inner ring and the center of the cage.

Fourth, the bearing lubrication method

   The oil is pumped to the cam bearing component by an oil pump, and then filtered and cooled by the lubricating oil after the bearing. Because the circulating oil can take away a certain amount of heat and cool the IKO bearing, this method is used for bearing parts with higher rotational speed.

Five, bearing spray lubrication method

   The use of boring shrinking air is mixed with smooth oil through a sprayer to create an oil mist. In the radial bearing, the air flow can effectively cool the bearing and prevent the intrusion of impurities. This method is suitable for the smoothness of high speed and low temperature bearing components.

Although the bearing raceway noise is unavoidable, it is possible to use high-precision machining of the working surface of the part, the correct selection of the bearing and the precise use of the bearing to reduce noise and vibration.
