Installation is one of the key stages in the life cycle of thin-walled bearings. If the correct methods and tools are not used to correctly install thin-walled bearings, the service life of thin-walled bearings will be shortened. Initial lubrication is also an important step in the installation procedure. Choosing the grease suitable for the application of the thin-walled bearing is the key to obtain better running performance of the machine. In addition, the amount of grease and lubrication method will also affect the service life of non-standard bearings.

After the thin-walled bearing is installed in the specific application position, for example, to connect the motor and the pump, it should be aligned. If there is no good alignment, the misalignment will cause the thin-walled bearing to bear additional load, friction and vibration. This will accelerate the fatigue of non-standard bearings and shorten the service life of thin-walled bearings and other machine parts. In addition, increased vibration and friction will significantly increase energy consumption and increase the risk of premature failure.

When thin-walled bearings are in operation, correct lubrication can make the running performance of thin-walled bearings reach a better state. Choosing the grease suitable for thin-walled bearing applications and using the right amount of grease at the correct time interval is the key to achieving a longer service life of thin-walled bearings. In addition, the supplementary lubrication method used really helps to optimize the life of thin-walled bearings. Continuous lubrication using a single-point or multi-point automatic lubricator can provide more continuous, precise and pollution-free lubrication than manual lubrication.

During operation, it is important to use basic condition monitoring methods to regularly check the condition of thin-walled bearings, such as temperature, vibration and noise measurement. Regular inspections can find potential failures and help prevent unplanned downtime, which in turn affects equipment maintenance plans that are consistent with production arrangements, and improves factory productivity and production efficiency.

After a certain period of time, the thin-walled bearing will reach the end of its service life, and the bearing needs to be replaced. Although thin-walled bearings may not need to be reused, it is important to remove the thin-walled bearings in the correct way, because this will not affect the service life of the bearings that will be replaced later. First of all, the use of correct disassembly methods and tools will help prevent damage to other machine parts. Second, the wrong disassembly method will also cause danger to the operator.
