Why should roller bearings be kept clean?

More than 90% of all roller bearing damage is caused by dirt. The way dirt enters the bearing is due to carelessness before or during assembly, or after the user makes the equipment work.

Dirt is composed of a large number of prismatic hard particles. When mixed with lubricant, it will become a grinding mixture. In this way, the roller will gradually wear the original precision fit in rotating motion, reducing accuracy and efficiency.

The key period that affects the service life of the bearing will occur from leaving the warehouse to assembling the workbench. The reason is obvious. The bearing is taken out of the box and the protective cover. Since then, the bearing has been completely dominated by the staff who manage the bearing. The first rule for managing the bearing is that the tools should be clean, and clean wiping cloth should be used instead of waste paper, because fiber chips and short fibers are easy to adhere to the surface, Keep hands and workplace clean.
