The importance of bearing lubrication

Reduce friction and wear: When the bearing is working, friction is inevitable, and proper lubrication can reduce the friction coefficient, reduce wear, and extend the service life of the bearing.

Cooling and sealing: Lubricant can form a protective film between the bearing and the external environment, which plays the role of sealing and cooling, effectively reducing the operating temperature of the bearing and improving work efficiency.

Reduce noise: Good lubrication can reduce the noise generated by the bearing during operation and improve the smooth operation and comfort of the equipment.

Grease: Grease is one of the most common lubrication methods. It consists of base oil and additives. It has good viscosity and adhesion and is suitable for high-speed, high-temperature and sealed bearings.

Lubricating oil: Lubricating oil is suitable for high-speed bearings and continuously operating machines. It has good fluidity and cooling properties and can form a uniform oil film in the bearings to reduce friction.

Solid lubricants: Solid lubricants are usually used in bearings operating at high temperatures, high loads and low speeds, such as molybdenum, copper, lead and other solid particles, which can form a uniform lubricating film on the bearing surface to reduce friction and wear.

Bearing lubrication and maintenance

Regularly replace the lubricant: According to the usage of the equipment and the manufacturer's recommendations, replace the lubricant regularly to maintain good lubrication of the bearings.

Clean the bearing surface: When replacing lubricant, the bearing surface and lubrication chamber should be cleaned to prevent contaminants from mixing into the lubricant and affecting the lubrication effect.

Pay attention to the amount of lubricant added: too much or too little lubricant will affect the normal operation of the bearing. The amount of lubricant added should be appropriately adjusted according to the actual situation.

Pay attention to the bearing temperature: Check the operating temperature of the bearing regularly. If the temperature is abnormally high, the lubrication of the bearing should be checked in time to ensure the normal operation of the bearing.

Bearing lubrication is one of the important factors to ensure the normal operation of mechanical equipment. Choosing the appropriate lubrication method and lubricant is of great significance to improving the performance of the equipment and extending its service life. Therefore, in practical applications, we should pay full attention to bearing lubrication technology and perform regular lubrication maintenance to ensure that the bearings are in good lubrication condition to ensure the safe and stable operation of the equipment.
