Did you know the average life expectancy of bearings is 3 to 5 years? Some last decades with proper care.
So why are some companies experiencing catastrophic failure in less than 6 months?
The #1 culprit: Spalling, which is responsible for over 50% of premature bearing failures.
If you train your operators the fingerprints:
Noise
Heat
Vibration
Contamination in the grease
Squeal
The conditions that cause this silent massacre can be halted.
Bearings don't fail mysteriously, they don't fail without warning, they fail with clear, identifiable fingerprints of the crime.
The question is: Do your operators know these signs and how to react?
