Q

On what surface does spalling occur?

A

Spalling appears on the load carrying surface

Remember: Spalling is the break away of the race due to foreign debris/objects getting in
Spalling - ALLING - ALL - Chips broke away ALL over floor

Q
A

indentations on the race-way due to load transferred through the bearing when static
False Brinelling - caused by AMBIENT VIBRATION & NO LUBRICATION - no hyrdo-dynamic film-Metal to Metal contact. The combination of metal to metal contact & vibration creates a wear pattern that mimics BRINELLING
(When a bearing is not operating it is subject to FALSE BRINELLING in its box or in the machine)

Q
A

lightly packed with grease
Bearings should be packed 70% to 80% full

Advantages of Grease - Bearings can be pre-lubricated - no need for LUBRICATION SYSTEM./ Requires Less Maintenance./ Not as difficult to seal as oil lubrication system./ Remains in contact to bearing components better than oil.
Disadvantages of Grease: LESS EFFICIENT AT CONDUCTING HEAT away from the bearing as effective as OIL. Increases initial TORQUE means RUNNING TORQUE IS SLIGHTLY HIGHER. SPEED LIMITS FOR GREASE ARE LOWER THAN OIL LUBE (Grease tends to cause overheating at high speed)

Q

Spalling

Spalling - Flaking of the surface layer of the raceway caused by Thermal & Shear streeses or ingress of FOD, material flaking away (evidenced by vibration & noise) after a time these stresses cause cracks which extend up to the surface as the roller’s elements pass over the cracks fragments of material break away
