Automotive Applications Filled Bearings

Special machine, index table bearing

BEARING TYPE:

Kaydon #KG300XPO - 30" bore

CONDITIONS:

The bearing could not be relubricated. Coolant washed out the grease. The seals did not adequately protect the bearing from metal chip contamination, which caused premature bearing failure. Changing out bearings required several days of machine downtime and high maintenance labor costs. Bearing life less than 1 year.

RESULTS:

MicroPoly filled bearings eliminated early bearing failures. Bearing life increased to over 4 years. Machine uptime was increased and maintenance costs substantially reduced.
