Bearing life varies inversely with misalignment

Bearing Alignment

Indicator setup for measuring outer race runout.

Indicator setup for measuring squareness of inner race with shaft

Setup on shaft for checking new flange mounted bearing after installation

Bearing Failures

Deep seated rust in the outer ring of a deep groove ball bearing

Extensive fretting corrosion on the outer race of a deep groove ball bearing.

Bearing Failures

Progressive stages of flaking

Bearing Failures

results of improper handling

Bearing Failures

Indentations, caused by dirt, in one of the raceways of a roller bearing

Bearing Failures

Smeared face of a cylindrical roller bearing inner ring

Bearing Failures

Thrust ball bearing raceway with smear streaks on account of the rotational speed having been too high in relation to the load

Bearing Failures

The outer race of a spherical roller bearing with raceways that have been worn by abrasive particles

Bearing Failures

The outer ring of a spherical roller bearing that has not been adequately lubricated. The raceways have a mirror finish

Bearing Failures

The inner and outer ring of a cylindrical roller bearing that has exposed to vibration. The inner ring has changed position

Bearing Failures

Deep grove ball bearing with electric current damage in zigzag pattern

Roller of a railway axlebox bearing damaged by electric current
