You can expect to receive long and successful operation from rolling element bearings, advises Stan SNels, but only if due attention is applied to a number of critical areas. ## R olling element (or antifriction) bearings, as applied to centrifugal pumps, have a life expectancy governed by five b

The causes of premature failure of rolling element bearings may be summarised as: From a tribological point of view, the factors that enhance rolling element bearing life in centrifugal pumps are well known: Correct type of oil. Correct viscosity oil. Adequate supply of oil. Cleanliness of oil. Abse
Bearing failure is one of the foremost causes of breakdown in rotating machinery. Such failures can be catastrophic and can result in costly downtime. To date, most research has studied crack propagation resulting from arti"cial or &seeded' damage. This damage has been induced in bearings by: scratc
