Session 1
• Often surrounded by a
ring of brown debris
False brinelling
Causes
• Vibrations in stationary
machines leading to
micromotion between
rolling elements &
raceways
• Foreign matter in
lubricants or cleaning
solutions
Contamination
Remedies
• Clean work areas, tools,
fixtures and hands reduce
the risks
• For contaminated
operating environments,
sealing arrangements
should be considered
Lubrication Failure
Fundamental Of Rolling Element
Bearing Failure
Lubrication
Failure
Symptoms
• Discolored rolling
elements (blue/brown)
and rolling element tracks
• Excessive temperatures
that degrade the lubricant
Lubrication
Failure
Remedies
• Use of the appropriate
and correct amount of
lubricant
• Increased vibration
followed by wear
• Increase in radial
clearance or loss of
preload
Corrosion
Causes
• Exposing bearings to
corrosive fluids or
atmospheres
Corrosion
Remedies
• Divert corrosive fluids
away from bearing areas
• Evidence of overheating
• Mounting damage
Lip Fracture
Remedies
• Ensure good lip support
design
• Observe appropriate
mounting instructions &
procedures
Fretting
Fundamental Of Rolling Element
Bearing Failure
Fretting
Symptoms
• Fretting, the generation of
fine metal particles which
oxidize, leaving a
distinctive brown color
• Possible disturbance of
floating bearing function
Fretting
Causes
• Micromotion between
fitted parts where the fits
are too loose in relation to
the acting forces
Fretting
Remedies
• Follow mounting
instructions for
appropriate fit
recommenda tions
Seizure
Fundamental Of Rolling Element
Bearing Failure
Seizure
Symptoms
• Partial or large-area
welding and deep
scratches in the lip and
roller face areas
