Cleaning of bearings

When removing the bearings for inspection, first use photography and other methods to make a good appearance record. In addition, it is necessary to confirm the amount of remaining lubricant and sample the lubricant before cleaning the bearings.

a、 The cleaning of bearings can be divided into rough cleaning and fine cleaning, and a metal mesh frame can be placed at the bottom of the container used.

b、 When rough washing, use a brush or other tool to remove lubricating grease or adhesive in oil. If the bearing is rotated in oil at this time, be careful not to damage the rolling surface due to foreign objects or other factors.

c、 During fine washing, slowly rotate the bearing in oil and carefully perform it.

The commonly used cleaning agents are neutral non aqueous diesel or kerosene, and sometimes warm alkaline solutions are also used as needed. Regardless of the type of cleaning agent used, it is important to filter regularly to maintain cleanliness.

After cleaning, immediately apply rust proof oil or grease to the bearings.
