How should precision angular contact ball bearings be maintained?

2024-03-14

Proper maintenance is essential to ensure the long-lasting operation and excellent performance of precision angular contact ball bearings. The following are maintenance recommendations for precision angular contact ball bearings:

1. Dismantling wheels and collecting screws:

Firstly, it is necessary to carefully remove the wheels related to the ball bearings. During this process, it is important to carefully store all screws for future reinstallation.

2. Dismantling of bearings:

For certain fastened wheels, bearings may be difficult to remove directly. At this point, a hex wrench can be used to apply appropriate force to ensure safe and complete disassembly of the bearing.

3. Surface cleaning:

Use a toothbrush or soft cloth to gently brush off the dust and impurities on the surface of the ball bearing. Keeping its surface clean helps ensure smooth operation.

4. Check the bearing side cover:

There are two types of side covers for precision angular contact ball bearings: removable and non removable. Before maintenance, please determine the type of side cover in order to take the correct handling method.

5. Handling detachable side covers:

If the side cover is removable, it is recommended to use a precision screwdriver to gently pry up the C-ring at the groove of the C-ring, and then carefully remove the side cover. This can ensure the integrity of the bearings and facilitate subsequent cleaning work.

6. Handling non removable side covers:

For non removable side covers, some destructive methods need to be used. Use a precision screwdriver to insert into the joint of the side cover and carefully pry up the side cover. But please note that once the side cover is lifted, it may not be able to return to its original state.

7. Cleaning and lubrication:

After removing one side cover of all bearings, they can be thoroughly cleaned. It is recommended to use professional cleaning agents or solvents to thoroughly remove the dust and impurities inside the bearings. Then, pour an appropriate amount of lubricating grease into a bowl, place it in the bearing, and gently stir to ensure it is evenly applied.

Through the above steps, you can effectively maintain precision angular contact ball bearings. Please remember to perform regular maintenance work to ensure the long-lasting operation and excellent performance of the ball bearings.
