Automotive Applications Filled Bearings

Multi-spindle screw machine

BEARING TYPE:

Single row ball bearing #87507

CONDITIONS:

Manual greasing blew out the seals, causing the grease to be washed out by constant coolant flow and allowing metal chip contamination into the bearings. Bearing life only 2 months. Bearing speed approximately 2,300 RPM maximum; intermittent rotation.

RESULTS:

At least a 50% life increase with no seals on bearings, increasing uptime and reducing scrap.
