How to determine whether the bearing can be used again

To judge whether the bearing can be used again, it is necessary to decide after considering the degree of bearing damage, machine performance, importance, operating conditions, inspection period and so on.

Check the bearings removed during regular maintenance, operation inspection and replacement of peripheral parts of the equipment to determine whether they can be used again or whether the use is better than bad.

First of all, to carefully investigate and record the removed bearing and appearance, in order to clarify and investigate the remaining amount of lubricant, after sampling, to clean the bearing well.

Secondly, check the condition of raceway surface, rolling surface and matching surface, as well as the wear state of cage for damage and abnormal conditions.

Inspection results If the bearing is found to have damage and abnormal conditions, it is necessary to find out the cause and formulate countermeasures. In addition, if there are the following defects in the inspection results, the bearings can no longer be used and need to be replaced with new bearings.

a. Cracks and debris appear in any of the inner and outer rings, rolling bodies and cages.

b. Any of the inner and outer rings and rolling bodies have been peeled off.

c. Raceway surface, retaining edge and rolling body have significant stuck injuries.

d. Cage wear is serious or rivet loosening is severe.

e. Raceway surface and rolling body are rusty and scarred.

f. Marked indentation and scratches on the rolling surface and rolling body.

g. Creep on the inside diameter surface of the inner ring or the outside diameter of the outer ring.

h. Overheated and discolored.

i. The sealing ring and dust cover of the grease seal bearing are seriously damaged.
