Failure Mode | Symptoms |
---|---|
Wear | Increased noise, vibration, and heat generation; premature tire wear |
Contamination | Abrasive particles in the bearing grease; can cause premature failure |
Corrosion | Rust or pitting on the bearing surfaces; can lead to failure in extreme cases |
Overloading | Excessive weight or stress on the bearing; can cause premature failure |
Misalignment | Improper alignment of the wheel or axle; can lead to uneven wear and premature failure |
Maintenance Task | Frequency | Procedure | Benefits |
---|---|---|---|
Inspection | Monthly | Check for unusual noises, vibration, or loose wheels; visually inspect bearings for damage or contamination | Identify potential issues early |
Lubrication | Quarterly | Replenish or replace bearing grease as per manufacturer's recommendations; use high-quality, compatible grease | Extend bearing life and reduce wear |
Replacement | Annually | Replace bearings as per manufacturer's recommendations or when signs of failure appear; use high-quality bearings and follow proper installation procedures | Prevent catastrophic failures |
