20
Q

What are symptoms of lubricant failure in bearings?

A

Discoloured (blue/brown) balls and tracks.

21
Q

What are signs of corrosion on bearings?

A

Red/brown areas on balls, cages and bands of ball bearings.

22
Q

How is misalignment on a bearing detected?

A

A ball wear path that is not parallel to raceways edges.

23
Q

What is fretting on a bearing?

A

Generation of fine metal particles which oxidise and leave a brown colour.

24
Q

How does fretting on bearings occur?

A

If the relative motion between mating parts is slight but continuous.
