How to keep the split bearing pedestal clean during use? Cleaning is very important for rolling bearings in split bearing housings. The surface roughness of rotating surfaces and rolling elements is usually 1/10 μ m. Such a smooth surface is very sensitive to damage caused by contaminants. The lubrication layer between the rotating surfaces is typically 0.2 to 1 μ m. Particulate impurities larger than the lubricant particle size can be excessively rolled by rolling elements, resulting in local pressure in the bearing steel, ultimately leading to material fatigue. In addition to this, the size of dust particles in the external environment can reach 10 μ m. Damage to the split bearing housing can also occur. Therefore, a clean and dust-free environment is crucial for storage and installation.
