What should we pay attention to when storing and using bearing forgings?

Bearing forging is an important mechanical part, which is widely used in various mechanical equipment. When storing and using bearing forgings, the following matters need to be paid attention to to ensure their quality and performance. First, storage precautions

Keep the original packaging: Bearing forgings usually come with the original packaging, such as wooden boxes or cartons. The package should be kept in good condition during storage. This can prevent bearing forgings from being affected by the external environment, such as moisture, dust and mechanical damage.

Avoid exposure to air: Bearing forgings should not be exposed to air for a long time, especially in a humid environment. If it must be temporarily stored outdoors or in a humid environment, it should be covered with materials such as moisture-proof paper or plastic film to prevent moisture and rust.

Avoid temperature changes: Bearing forgings should not be subject to drastic changes in temperature, such as sudden temperature increases or decreases. During storage, a stable temperature and humidity should be maintained as far as possible to prevent material deformation or cracking.

Avoid contact with corrosive substances: Bearing forgings should not be in contact with any substances that may cause corrosion, such as acidic or alkaline liquids, metal powders, etc. If contact with these substances is necessary, special anti-corrosion coatings should be used for protection.

Keep clean: Bearing forgings should be kept clean, especially before use should be thoroughly inspected and cleaned. Any impurities or contaminants can affect its performance and service life, so it should be cleaned and disposed of before use.

Second, use precautions

Correct installation: Before using bearing forgings, they must be properly installed in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. Special tools and equipment should be used for installation, and ensure that the surface of the bearing seat and shaft is clean. Any impurities or contaminants may affect the normal operation and service life of the bearing.

Avoid overload: bearing forgings should not be affected by overload, such as overload or speeding. During use, it should be ensured that the rated load and use speed are not exceeded to prevent bearing damage or premature failure.

Regular inspection and maintenance: Bearing forgings should be inspected and maintained regularly to ensure their normal operation and service life. The bearing seat and shaft should be checked for wear, lubrication and temperature, and timely maintenance and replacement of parts.

Use the right lubricant: Bearing forgings need to be lubricated with the right lubricant to reduce friction and wear. The correct lubricant should be selected according to the manufacturer’s instructions and lubricated in accordance with the specified time and manner.

Avoid shock and vibration: Bearing forgings should not be affected by shock and vibration for a long time. During use, any operation or environment that may cause shock or vibration, such as sudden start, stop or vibration, should be avoided.

Correct removal and replacement: When it is necessary to remove or replace bearing forgings, it should be done correctly according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Special tools and equipment should be used to remove and replace, and ensure that the surface of the bearing seat and shaft is clean. Any impurities or contaminants may affect the normal operation and service life of the bearing.

In short, the correct storage and use of bearing forgings is essential to ensure their quality and performance. In the process of storage and use, should pay attention to the above matters, and in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions to operate correctly. This can extend the service life of bearing forgings and improve the efficiency and reliability of equipment.
