Impact of Oscillation Wear and Temperature on IKO Bearings and Countermeasures

Source: Bearing Network | Date: June 25, 2014

IKO bearings are highly sensitive to oscillation damage, such as flaking, indentation, rust, cracks, and wear. These issues can significantly affect the performance of the bearing. To detect oscillation problems, specialized equipment like vibration analyzers is often used to measure the vibration levels of large bearings. However, the measured values may vary depending on the type of sensor used or the installation conditions. Temperature monitoring is also essential for IKO bearings. The normal operating temperature of a bearing can fluctuate slightly, but if it's an outer ring bearing, measuring the outer ring temperature is more accurate. Under normal operation, the bearing temperature gradually increases over 1-2 hours before stabilizing. Factors such as the machine's heat capacity, cooling system, speed, and load all influence this process. If the temperature rises abnormally, it could indicate a problem, and immediate action should be taken to prevent further damage. Temperature sensors can continuously monitor the operating temperature of IKO bearings. If the temperature exceeds the set limit, an alarm can be triggered, or the system can automatically shut down to prevent failure. Therefore, regular temperature monitoring is crucial, whether measuring the bearing itself or other critical components. Any unusual temperature change under similar operating conditions may signal a potential fault. Measuring the temperature of IKO bearings can be done using digital thermometers, which provide accurate readings in degrees Celsius or Fahrenheit. This is especially important because a damaged bearing can lead to equipment failure. Hence, integrating temperature sensors into high-performance bearings is essential for early detection and prevention. Even with proper use of imported bearings, they can still experience premature damage due to various factors. These include improper lubrication, unsuitable oil supply systems, foreign particle contamination, installation errors, or excessive shaft deflection. Such issues can cause failures that occur before the expected fatigue life of the bearing. Understanding the causes of IKO bearing damage requires a comprehensive analysis of the machinery, operating conditions, and surrounding structures. By investigating the events leading up to the failure, engineers can identify the root causes and implement preventive measures to avoid future incidents.
