Life before and after rotating

It is often said that traumatic childhood results in expensive and extensive treatments by therapists in later stages of life. Treatments do not come for free, btw.
I am not sure that bearings have feelings, but they sure have impeccable memory. Traumatic childhood of the bearing results in expensive and extensive maintenance activities. That does not come for free either.
Besides having memory, bearings can be quite revengeful. Even smallest mistreatment comes with a price. Treat them nice or feel the anger.
Once failed, they should be treated as fallen heroes, not thrown to garbage. If failure of one bearing does not improve life of its successor, that fallen hero died in vain.
Whatever is done during bearing rotating life is equally important as what happens before it starts rotating and after it stops.
Treat them as assets while they are still in the box.
They are still an asset when they fail, they contain information.

5 年This is a great bit of wisdom from Haris Trobradovi?, CRL, ARP demonstrating how we extract value from an asset even after that asset is considered no longer an asset. In a unique way, the way only Haris can, he adds an additional stage to the life cycle of a bearing. This is all about #rca and has nothing to do with installation techniques.

5 年How true it is, treat your bearings well and they will reciprocate. Go to https://ludeca.com/categories/bearing-heating/ and download two infographics "Bearing Storage Practices" and "Induction Heating Procedure-Bearing Mounting", you can laminate these and use them in any place that bearings are installed. Please take care of your bearings. #keepitrunning.
