Practical Tips for Avoiding Industrial Bearing Contamination and Maximizing Service Life

Contamination is a primary cause of premature failure in industrial bearings, and effective control can significantly extend their service life.Ensure a clean environment during installation: operators wear dust-free gloves to avoid oil and impurities contacting the bearings, and clean dust and iron chips from mounting surfaces. Select suitable contact or non-contact seals based on working conditions to block dust, moisture, and corrosive media.Use clean, specialized lubricants. Regularly inspect oil quality and replace it promptly to prevent internal wear from deteriorated lubricants. Maintain a clean surrounding environment during daily maintenance, remove deposits regularly, and repair or replace damaged seals or leaks immediately. Following these key points can effectively reduce contamination risks and ensure stable bearing operation.
