Xingtai Botong Machinery Technology Co., Ltd. is a newly established company in the field of bearings. Founded in 2022, the company is located in Linxi, Hebei, which is widely recognized as the hometown of bearings in China. With its strategic location, Xingtai Botong Machinery Technology Co., Ltd. is poised to tap into the rich knowledge and expertise of the local industry and make a strong impact in the global market.
Proper bearing lubrication is key to keeping your motor running correctly. Lubrication separates rolling surfaces to reduce wear, removes excess heat generated by friction, acts as a barrier to contaminants, provides corrosion inhibition, and helps retain rolling elements during assembly. More than 50% of all bearing failure is due to improper lubrication! If that’s not a good reason to pay attention to the rest of this article, I don’t know what is.
Since maintaining your bearings by greasing them is so important, how often should it be done? The manufacturer of the motor and the manufacturer of the bearing will have a specific recommended greasing schedule. The intervals between greasing will be specific to the motor load, run time, and ambient temperature.
Rolling-element bearings are also called antifriction bearings, as they have lower friction and reduced lubrication requirements compared to plain bearings. Their role is to support and to guide rotating and oscillating machine elements, such as shafts, wheels or axels, and to transfer loads between the different components of an assembly.
