If there are foreign objects such as iron filings, burrs, dust, etc. in the INA bearing, it will cause noise and vibration during the operation of the universal joint bearing, and even damage the raceway and rolling elements. Therefore, before installing the bearing, you must ensure that the mounting surface and the installation environment are clean.
Lubrication has a very important influence on the operation and life of INA bearings. Grease is made from base oils, thickeners and additives. The performance of the grease is primarily determined by the base oil. Generally low viscosity base oil is suitable for low temperature and high speed; high viscosity is suitable for high temperature and high load.
The thickener is also related to the lubricating properties, and the water resistance of the thickener determines the water resistance of the grease. In principle, the different greases of the brand cannot be mixed, and even the grease of the same thickener may have a bad influence on each other due to the different additives. The universal joint bearing surface is coated with anti-rust oil, which must be carefully cleaned with clean gasoline or kerosene, and then cleaned with high-quality or high-speed high-temperature grease for installation. Fully enclosed bearings do not need to be cleaned and refueled.
After the INA bearing is installed, if it is not carefully aligned, alignment may result in additional loads, friction and vibration of the bearing. These can accelerate fatigue and reduce bearing life and can damage the life of other machine parts. In addition, increased vibration and friction can greatly increase energy consumption and risk of premature failure.
During use, the basic external conditions of the gimbal bearing operation are often monitored, such as temperature, vibration and noise measurements. These regular inspections will identify potential problems early and will prevent unexpected machine stops, enabling production plans, increased plant productivity and efficiency.
During operation, INA bearings require proper relubrication to perfect its performance. The method of bearing lubrication is divided into grease lubrication and oil lubrication. In order to make the bearing function well, first, choose a lubrication method that suits the conditions of use and the purpose of use. Lubricity of oil lubrication predominates if only lubrication is considered. However, grease lubrication has the advantage of simplifying the structure around the universal joint bearing.
