Precautions for the use of crossed roller bearings

Apr 12, 2021

     For damaged bearings, possible causes can be found in most cases. Generally speaking, one third of crossed roller bearings are damaged due to fatigue damage, and the other third is due to incorrect lubrication methods. One in part is due to contaminants entering the bearing or improper installation. Therefore, what we want to talk about is how to protect the cross roller bearing and prolong the service life of the cross roller bearing. The following matters should be paid attention to when using the bearing:

  1. Keep the bearing and its surrounding environment clean. Even if dust invisible to the naked eye enters the bearing, it will wear the cross roller bearing.

  2. When using and installing, please install carefully and accurately. The important thing is that the crossed roller bearing cannot be punched forcefully, the bearing cannot be hit directly with a hammer, and pressure cannot be transmitted through the rolling elements.

  3. Use appropriate and accurate installation tools. Try to use special tools and try to avoid things like cloth and short fibers.

  4. To prevent corrosion of the bearing, do not soak with water. Crossed roller bearings are made of stainless steel, but they are also afraid of water. When picking up the bearing by hand, thoroughly wash away the sweat from your hands and apply high-quality mineral oil before proceeding. Pay special attention to rust prevention during the rainy season and summer.

     The life span of crossed roller bearings has a certain number of years. If we use them properly and pay attention to the 4 points above, the bearing will give full play to its role!
