Review of Different Types of Bearing Failure

Bearing failure

Abstract: Bearing is moving object, so friction force of comes into play, and must be surpassed to move the Bearing. Various types of bearings are used to reduce this friction force for moving mechanism. The bearing named from the fact that it bears a turning axle or shaft. Rolling bearings use balls, or rollers so it’s called "rolling elements. If the operating loads and speeds are known then you can calculate bearing life expectancy based on material fatigue. These calculations must assume that the bearing is correctly mounted, lubricated and otherwise properly handled. It cannot take into consideration the effect of adverse operating conditions. Bearing failures have great impact on industry and economy. The aim of the present work is to study and spot the major causes that limit bearing efficiency, thus leading to bearing failure.
