HOW TO MAINTAIN YOUR BALL BEARINGS?

 


Maintaining your ball bearings is no easy task. Today, Abdul Traders will try to make it easier for you by providing you with a simple, economical and efficient solution to cleaning your bearings and ball bearings.

First of all, it's good to know that you need to clean your bearings regularly in order to maintain optimal performance. In fact, in your ball bearings, a lot of dirt accumulates over time: this will interfere with the rotating movement of the balls. The bearing is then said to be seized. It won't be as effective as it used to be.

 Before embarking on cleaning your ball bearings, you must equip yourself with certain tools:

•             a spray of penetrating oil

•             a fine needle

•             a container

•             a precision drill

•             a drill head with screw thread

•             hard washers of different sizes

•             screws and small nuts

People who are likely to be most interested in this article are those who skateboard. The frequency of cleaning therefore depends on your use and especially if you regularly change tracks or if you compete. Here is the procedure for maintaining ball bearings:

DISASSEMBLE THE BALL BEARINGS

You have to disassemble your bearing entirely, but especially delicately for each element. To remove the flange, for example, use a fine needle.

After removing one of the flanges, you must soak your bearing in the penetrating oil that you have previously poured into a small container. You will then see particles of dirt appear which will be scattered throughout the liquid. Remove the elements and then dry them on absorbent paper. In order to obtain an effective result, repeat the operation.

CREATE A BLOCKING SYSTEM

For each support, you must have several elements:

•             a screw

•             cups

•             a nut

On the screw, you will place a bearing and the cups. The cups will come and maintain the bearing by putting pressure on the inner rings. Finally, the nut will fix the first cup.

CLEANING WITH THE DRILL

Now you are going to attach the system you just mounted to the drill. Set at minimum power, the drill should run for 15 to 20 seconds with each bearing, so all impurities will be ejected.

THE REASSEMBLY

After performing the cleaning steps correctly, add a drop of oil to each bearing to reassemble it more easily and give it a second life!

 Now you know the most efficient way to clean your bearings. Find our tips and advice on our blog regularly. Abdul Traders supports you in choosing your bearings, ball bearings, housings and other accessories. Do not hesitate to ask your questions on our site, our team will answer them quickly!

The hidden side of needle roller bearings.

Image
  There are many types of bearings, the most common are ball bearings, or tapered roller bearings, cylindrical or spherical roller bearings. Their design meets certain technical requirements to adapt to the specific application. Less known is the needle roller bearing , but it is indispensable in certain applications where high demands are made on reliability and durability. Discover the hidden side of needle bearings that fit into many mechanisms. What is so special about them? The rolling elements used are shaped like needles, hence the name. These steel needles with a round or flat tip have a diameter of no more than 5 mm, and their length must be at least 3 times greater than their diameter. The bearing supports very high loads thanks to the contact the area developed by the needles, which are mounted in a cage made of steel or molded polyamide. It allows for extremely compact assemblies and is the bearing of choice when looking for a good compromise between performance...

Bearing Life Cycle

Image
  Each bearing has a certain potential for life. However, research has shown that, for various reasons, not all bearings achieve this. Important milestones that have a major impact on the life of a bearing can be recognized during the life cycle of the bearing. These steps are assembly, lubrication, alignment, basic condition monitoring, and disassembly. The life cycle stages of a bearing are extremely important to achieve maximum service life. By applying good maintenance practices and using the right tools, you can dramatically extend the life of your bearings and increase plant productivity and efficiency. Help your bearing reach its maximum life! Mounting: Mounting is one of the critical stages in the bearing life cycle. If the bearing is not mounted correctly using the correct method and tools, the bearing life will be shortened. Individual applications may require mechanical, thermal, or hydraulic mounting methods for proper and efficient bearing mounting. Selecting th...
