Three misunderstandings when adding grease to bearings

Three misunderstandings when adding grease to bearings


The main function of grease is to lubricate the bearing and reduce friction. Do you also have the following misunderstandings when adding grease to the bearing?

Bearing grease replenishment misunderstanding one: Calendar Base Greasing

Regularly add grease to the bearing, just see that the time is up, then add grease to the bearing, and don't pay attention to whether the bearing needs grease, most of us ignore the influence of their variables.

The same machine is operating at the same time, one is hot and humid with high speed and low load, and the other frequently starts and stops at low speed. The time and amount of grease replenishment for these two are different.

Bearing Grease Mistake 2: Bearing Over- and Under-Grease

Too much grease increases the pressure, pushing the rolling elements through the fluid film and against the outer ring. Increased friction and temperature can significantly reduce bearing life. Insufficient grease will have the same life-shortening effect.

Bearing grease replenishment misunderstanding three: rely on subjective bearing data

We tend to rely solely on subjective ultrasound data when precisely quantifiable data are available. Always use an ultrasonic instrument with a digital decibel meter. Even better, use a device that provides multiple status indicators. Determine whether to add grease according to the comparison of measurement data, and adjust the replenishment amount and replenishment time of grease at any time.

If you want to buy high-quality bearings, welcome to contact us.  Looking forward to your cooperation.
