FAG universal joint bearing periodic inspection method

Regular inspections of FAG bearings are important to maintaining the best condition of the universal joint bearings and can also reveal problems. Matters and related knowledge about the use of FAG bearings.

First of all, we want to emphasize that it is important to keep the FAG bearings lubricated and clean.

Therefore, before we inspect the universal joint bearing, we should clean the surface of the FAG imported bearing and then remove the parts around the bearing. It should be noted that the oil seal is a very fragile part, so extra care should be taken during inspection and disassembly. Do not apply excessive force to avoid damage to the parts. Then carefully check the oil seal of the FAG bearing and its surrounding parts. If it has been shown to be a bad symptom, be sure to replace it. A bad oil seal will cause damage to the bearing, causing the FAG bearing to be abnormal and causing the machine to stop.

Second, we also check the lubricant of the universal joint bearing.

Lubrication is very important, not only for FAG bearings, but also for all imported bearings. However, please note that it is not advisable to add too much grease to the bearings.

The inspection method for FAG bearing lubricant is:

Apply a little bit of lubricant to the two fingers. If there is any contaminant, feel it. Or apply a thin layer of lubricant on the back of the hand and check the seal.

Then replace the lubricant of the universal joint bearing.

FAG bearings lubricated with oil should be refilled with fresh oil and allowed to rotate at low speed for a few minutes if the old oil is drained. As much as possible, allow the oil to collect residual contaminants and then vent the oil. Note: It is best to filter the oil before use.

For grease-lubricated FAG bearings, when replacing grease, the cutter used should avoid any part of the FAG bearing with a cotton joint. Since these residual fibers may be wedged between the rolling elements and cause damage, especially the application of small bearings requires attention to this problem.

Finally, it is important to note that the exposed FAG bearings are covered.

When inspecting FAG bearings, never expose the bearings to contaminants or moisture. If the work is interrupted, the machine should be covered with a piece of oil-paper plastic or similar material.

If the unshielded bearing is cleaned without the possibility of disassembly, the brush for application should be cleaned with a petroleum solvent (whitespirit), then dried with a lint-free cloth or blown dry with compressed air ( Be careful not to let the gimbal bearing assembly start to rotate).

Prevent lubrication problems, clean NSK bearings and cleaning process

1. Understand the development of machine lubrication

Lubrication products and technologies are constantly evolving and need to be kept up to date. Managers and employees have knowledge of the plant's lubrication system as one of the important ways to prevent downtime, equipment maintenance, and avoid losses.

2. Implement lubricant analysis plan

One of the most important measures to extend the life of a lubricant is to implement a comprehensive lubricant analysis program that compares the results of the analysis with previous analysis reports to understand trends in key wear characteristics. Such an analysis program can help identify problems with lubricant contamination, lubricant degradation, abnormal machine wear, and sampling operations. In addition, the analysis plan also changed the replacement of lubricants from on-time replacement to quality replacement, so as to avoid replacing the lubricants that are still in good condition.

3. Find excellent lubrication experts

Excellent lubricant suppliers, in addition to providing a full range of lubrication products, provide the training and tools needed to keep the line up and running. Factory management should receive a full service from the supplier to support their lubrication management.

The cleaning of NSK bearings is carried out by rough washing and fine washing, and a metal mesh frame can be placed on the bottom of the used container.

When rough washing, remove grease or adhesive with a brush or the like in the oil. At this time, if the NSK bearing is rotated in the oil, be careful that the rolling surface will be damaged by foreign matter or the like.

When cleaning, the NSK bearing is slowly rotated in the oil and must be carefully carried out.

The cleaning agent generally used is a neutral non-aqueous diesel oil or kerosene, and a warm alkali liquid or the like is sometimes used as needed. Regardless of which cleaning agent is used, it is often filtered and kept clean.

Immediately after cleaning, apply anti-rust oil or anti-rust grease to the NSK bearing.
