Bearing skidding
Causes
• Over lubrication
Total weight=5080 kg
The noise and non synchronous broadband energy could be from a rub e.g. A
bearing seal. This would also cause a temperature increase.
There could be metal to metal contact occurring. Why? If the grease has thickened
in service metal to metal contact could be occurring due to the increased base oil
separation and lack of fluid film thickness.
Actions:
Utilise Acoustic monitoring
Inspect the bearing
Take a grease sample
Clear the grease path/grease relief
Alter the lubrication interval – Reduce the lubrication frequency, increase the
charge
Change the lubrication method – Use the appropriate technology
Change grease
What is missing?
More data:
•Acoustic
•Temperature
•A structured approach to problem solving
•Evidence:- Strobe the rolling elements,
inner and outer race inspection
