The tasks of identifying and correcting the causes of bearing failure are much simplified with the launch of a free, handy 12-page guide.
The tasks of identifying and correcting the causes of bearing failure are much simplified with the launch of a free, handy 12-page guide.
The new guide provides a handy reference, helping engineers to address the widespread problem of bearings that fail and are then removed and replaced quickly without adequate levels of analysis into what caused their failure.
As a result, damaging failures are most likely to occur again, leading to further expensive unscheduled downtime.
Fully illustrated with detailed drawings and large colour photographs, the guide assists engineers to identify and analyse the twelve most common causes of bearing failure.
The characteristics of each failure mode are described in detail and close-up photographs showing the resultant damage are also provided.
These are complemented by advice on what corrective measures need to be adopted to prevent further occurrences of the same type.
"Our intention in producing the new guide is to provide a handy, first line defence for engineers seeking to quickly establish the cause of bearing failures that harm production", said Trevor Morris of the Barden Corporation.
"In today's extremely pressurised global economy it is important for a company to have a regime in place that enables recognition of bearing damage at an early stage in its development".
"Moreover, once this has been achieved there must also be a system in place that secures the bearings when they are removed in their damaged state".
"This is extremely important to assist the bearing manufacturer in analysing the causes of failure and in avoiding similar instances in the future".
