Assess the working status of the roller bearing

Abstract

Roller bearings are a type of support shaft in important mechanical drive structures. During the working process of the drive system, the bearing will gradually become less reliable over time. Sudden failures of roller bearings can result in heavy losses in production lines. The assessment of their working status should be conducted periodically and regularly. In this article, I have analyzed, identified the conditions and pointed out some the reasons for the failure states of the bearing. Corresponding to each cause, the degree of failure of the roller bearing appropriate remedy. The two main solutions that can be used are Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) lubricant quality testing.
