Smooth operation is a crucial factor in the performance and longevity of NTN bearings. The smoothness of these bearings significantly affects their fatigue life, as well as factors like friction, wear, temperature rise, and vibration. Without proper lubrication, NTN bearings cannot function properly. In previous articles, we have analyzed that poor lubrication is one of the main causes of bearing failure, with up to 40% of bearing damage directly linked to inadequate lubrication. Therefore, maintaining excellent lubrication is essential for reducing friction and wear, ensuring optimal performance.
In addition to reducing friction, proper lubrication also helps with heat dissipation, corrosion prevention, sealing, and cushioning. Here’s a brief explanation of how lubrication works:
a. A thin oil film forms between the rolling or sliding surfaces, separating them and minimizing direct contact, which reduces wear and damage.
b. When using circulating oil or oil mist, the lubricant helps dissipate heat generated by internal friction, improving cooling efficiency.
c. Grease lubrication acts as a barrier, preventing contaminants like dust and moisture from entering the bearing and causing damage.
d. Lubricants also provide protection against metal corrosion, extending the service life of the bearing.
e. Ultimately, good lubrication can significantly extend the fatigue life of NTN bearings, ensuring they operate efficiently over time.
By understanding and maintaining the importance of lubrication, users can maximize the performance and lifespan of their NTN bearings. Proper maintenance and regular lubrication are key steps in achieving this goal.
