Fault and solution of deep groove ball bearings - excessive radial or axial clearance problem

Factors to consider during runtime:

►Because the rolling elements are in a free state outside the load zone, excessive radial or axial clearance inside the bearing can lead to increased noise.

►In addition, excessive clearance can increase the possibility of rolling element slippage and have a negative impact on bearing performance.

 

Measures:

►The use of springs or wave washers can provide appropriate axial load, keeping the rolling elements constantly under load. (Mainly used for ball bearings).

►Check the initial clearance required for the bearing and adjust the clearance as appropriate.
