In the application of ball bearing transmission, various types of water vapor or moisture corrosion may occur due to different environments and temperatures, leading to bearing failure, especially in outdoor and marine applications. The following are measures to prevent moisture from corroding bearings:
1. Ensure that the bearing device is fully protected.
2. Use sealed bearings according to the working environment.
3. Ensure adequate lubrication: Use the appropriate amount of lubricant at the appropriate time.
4. Do not open the bearing packaging before installation.
5. Fully protect the installed bearings.
6. Choose the bearing material that is suitable for the environment correctly.
The following are common experimental cases of moisture corrosion
The influence of moisture on water pump bearings, seal failure, bearing corrosion, and red lubricating grease.
Dust cover failure, corrosive substances entering the interior of the bearing and causing corrosion points on the inner and outer rings of the bearing, also known as rust spots.
Excessive water content in lubricants can lead to static corrosion at the pitch circle of ball bearings or roller bearings.
Improper sealing resulted in etching marks on the spherical area when the ball bearing was stationary.
Bearings are very precise transmission components, and environmental conditions need to be considered before installation. After installation, bearings need to be regularly maintained,
