BEARING FAILURE ANALYSIS
A SURVEY REVEALS :
9% FAILURE DUE TO FATIGUE.
27% FAILURES DUE TO IMPROPER MOUNTING &
DISMOUNTING.
43% FAIL DUE TO IMPROPER LUBRICATION.
21% FAILURES DUE TO OTHER CAUSES.
OBJECTIVE:
100% FAILURES DUE TO NORMAL FATIGUE.

LUBRICATION
WHY LUBRICATION??
Reduce friction
Prevent corrosion
Remove wear particles and debris
Provide efficient cooling
Reduce wear
Shock absorption
Overall life improvement
LUBRICATION THEORY
• Full film
• Static
• Hydrodynamic
• Elastohydrodynamic
• Application of pressure / load
• Depends upon speeds, loads, lubricant viscosity
• Boundary layer
• Layer separation not complete
• Results from insufficient lube, incorrect lube
GREASE Vs OIL
When greases?
When Oils?
Viscosity
Viscosity index
Flash point
Pour point
Oxidation stability
Demulsibility
Load carrying ability (EP)
Detergency
TAN / TBN
TYPES OF LUBRICANTS
• Automotive oils
Engine oils
Gear oils
Transmission oils
Other oils (preservative oils etc)
• Industrial oils
Turbine oils
Hydraulic oils
Gear oils
Refrigeration compressor oils
• Greases
• Synthetic oils

LUBE OIL MONITORING
Advantages:
Provides early warning
Identifies lubricant contamination
Identifies specific failing components
Helps monitor component deterioration
Disadvantages:
Trending is necessary
Accuracy depends on sampling point, skill
