Common faults and necessary remedial measures of Timken thrust ball bearing
The clearance of Timken bearing in the United States refers to the movement of the bearing when one side of its inner ring or outer ring is fixed when it is not installed in the shaft or bearing housing, and then the unfixed side moves radially or axially. According to the moving direction, it can be divided into radial clearance and axial clearance.
The clearance during operation (called working clearance) has an impact on the rolling fatigue life, temperature rise, noise, vibration and other properties of imported bearings.
When measuring the clearance of the bearing, in order to obtain a stable measurement value, the specified measurement load is generally applied to the bearing. Therefore, the measured value is larger than the real clearance (called theoretical clearance), that is, it increases the elastic deformation caused by the measured load.
However, for the roller bearing of Timken bearing in the United States, the elastic deformation is small and can be ignored. The internal clearance of the bearing before installation is generally expressed by theoretical clearance.Common faults and necessary remedial measures of Timken thrust ball bearing
The lubrication of bearing is to use oil film to separate the relatively moving rolling surfaces from each other, so as not to fail due to excessive wear caused by rough point contact. If users attach great importance to imported bearing lubrication technology, it can ensure stable performance and rotation accuracy during the given service life.Common faults and necessary remedial measures of Timken thrust ball bearing

The lubrication of imported bearings is divided into grease lubrication and oil lubrication. The advantage of grease lubrication is that the lubrication facilities are simple, the grease is not easy to leak, and has the ability to prevent water, air and other impurities from entering the bearing.
Therefore, grease lubrication is widely used in general. Lubricate with oil under heavy load, high speed, high temperature and other working conditions.Common faults and necessary remedial measures of Timken thrust ball bearing
Lubricating grease is composed of base oil, thickener and filler. The viscosity of base oil plays an important role in the lubricating performance of grease. The composition of thickener has an important impact on the performance of grease, especially temperature characteristics, water resistance and oil precipitation.
Filler is mainly used to enhance the anti gasification, anti rust, extreme pressure and other properties of grease.Common faults and necessary remedial measures of Timken thrust ball bearing

Timken bearing and shaft diameter or bearing seat hole interference is small, and the press in method is often used for assembly. The simple method is to use a copper rod and a hand hammer to knock the bearing race with interference fit symmetrically in a certain order to make the thrust ball bearing press in smoothly. In addition, soft metal casing can also be driven by hand hammer or press.Common faults and necessary remedial measures of Timken thrust ball bearing
If the operation is improper, the seat ring will be deformed and cracked, or the hammer will hit the seat ring without interference fit, which will make the raceway and bearing body indentation or the bearing will be damaged indirectly.
During assembly, if the interference between the bearing and the shaft diameter is large, the hot assembly method is generally adopted. Put the bearing into the oil barrel containing engine oil, and heat the outside of the oil barrel with hot water or flame. Common faults and necessary remedial measures of Timken thrust ball bearing
