Bearing Failure Query Sheet

FAG Bearings India Limited Slide 4
Typical reasons for rolling bearing damages : Inexpert Mounting Inexpert mounting Abnormal conditions during operation Unfavourable environmental influences Inadequate lubrication Incorrect mounting method, wrong tools Contamination Too tight fit Too loose fit Misalignment
Slide 5

Abnormal conditions during operation Unfavourable environmental influences External heat Dust, dirt Lack of lubricant Passage of electric current Over lubrication Humidity Aggressive media In many cases, a failed bearing may reveal several damage features simultaneously. In such cases it is difficult to indicate one single cause of failure. A systematic clarification of causes associated with each damage is the only answer. Inadequate lubrication
Over load Absence of load Vibrations Excessive speeds
Unsuitable lubricant
Slide 6

SYMPTOMS
Brownish black spots on the seats occasionally with brown abraded matter near bearing or in lubricant also. Wear at the fitting surface, fatigue fracture possible in case of rotating parts . Disturbance of floating bearing function possible in case of stationary parts.

Axial load of a radial bearing, e.g. deep groove ball bearing. On the inner and outer rings the tracks spread off-centre over the entire raceway circumference. Combined radial-axial load of a deep groove ball bearing. In the case of the inner ring (circumferential load) there is a constant wide track over the entire raceway circumference. The track on the outer ring (point load) is wider in the radial load zone than on the rest of the circumference.
Slide 12
Indentation Caused by foreign particle contamination
Indentation of soft foreign particles
Indentation by particles made of hardened steel
Indentation of hard mineral foreign particles
If no contamination is 1, iron chips = 0.3, sand particles = 0.05
Slide 13

Deep groove ball bearing under detrimental radial preload. The tracks extend over the entire circumference, even on the point loaded ring. Oval deformation of a deep groove ball bearing. Two opposed radial load zones formed in the raceway of the ovally deformed outer ring (point load).
Slide 14
Locating-floating bearing arrangement with two deep groove ball bear

The deep groove ball bearing on the work end is designed as the locating bearing, the bearing on the drive end as the floating bearing.
Tracks on bearings in working order. The locating bearing shows the characteristics of a bearing under combined load, the floating bearing those of a bearing under mainly/purely radial load.
Tracks on bearings under detrimental axial preload (outer ring of floating bearing does not move). Each bearing shows the characteristics of a combined load. The detrimental axial preload is clear from the symmetric tracks of both bearings.
