PROPERTIES : BEARING
MATERIALS
• High wear resistance
• High rolling fatigue strength
• Non-metallic inclusions like O, S etc. increase fatigue
cracking
• High dimensional stability
• Heat treatable to high hardness in depth
• High corrosion resistance
• High wettability with oil
• Low coefficient of semi-dry friction
• Good heat conductivity
• Good antiseize properties
MATERIALS-SKF BEARINGS
• ~SAE 52100

CLEARANCE DESIGNATIONS
Example:
A 6210 /C3 ball bearing has 18 - 36 µm
(microns) or 0.0007” - 0.0014” radial internal
clearance

Example:
A 5210 / C3 ball bearing has
33 - 54 µm or 0.0013” – 0.0021”

LOAD DISTRIBUTION & CLEARANCE
Life
Preload Clearance
• L10 = (C / P)n
C = Design Load {Basic dynamic rating
load (constant radial or axial load when brg is
rotating) in N that will give bearing life of 106
revs in accordance with ISO 281:1990}
Contamination
Improper installation and lubrication
Fatigue
FAILURE MODE CLASSIFICATION-1
Corrosion
- Moisture,

- Current leakage
FAILURE MODE CLASSIFICATION-3
• Plastic Deformation
- Overload
- Indentation from debris
- Indentation by handling
• Fracture
- Forced
- Fatigue
- Thermal Cracking
SYMPTOMS OF BEARING FAILURE

- Vibration
- Obstruction of movement (RDT reduces)
- Shaft jammed
- Others ?

STORAGE AND REPACKING
BEARING STORAGE ROOM
CONDITIONS :
* CLEAN (no dust)
* DRY (Max 60 % humidity)
* DRAUGHTS TO BE AVOIDED (no windows opened)
• AWAY FROM VIBRATION
