| In order to maintain the original
performance of a bearing for as long as possible, proper
maintenance and inspection should be performed. If proper
procedures are used, many bearing problems can be avoided
and the reliability, productivity, and operating costs of
the equipment containing the bearings are all improved. It
is suggested that periodic maintenance be done following the
procedure specified. This periodic maintenance encompasses
the supervision of operating conditions, the supply or
replacement of lubricants, and regular periodic inspection.
Items that should be regularly checked during operation
include bearing noise, vibration, temperature, and
lubrication. If an irregularity is found during operation, the cause should be determined and the proper corrective actions should be taken after referring to manufactures specifications. If necessary, the bearing should be dismounted and examined in detail. As for the procedure for dismounting and inspection, refer to manufactures specifications for the Inspection of Bearings.
