When disassembling the bearing for inspection, first make a record of the appearance with photography or other methods. In addition, confirm the amount of remaining lubricant and sample the lubricant before cleaning the bearing.
a. The cleaning of the bearing is divided into rough washing and fine washing, and a metal mesh rack can be placed at the bottom of the container in use.
b. When rough washing, use a brush in oil to remove grease or adhesions. At this time, if the bearing is rotated in oil, be careful that the rolling surface may be damaged by foreign matter.
c. When fine washing, slowly rotate the bearing in oil, and must be carried out carefully.
Commonly used cleaning agents are neutral non-water-containing diesel or kerosene, and sometimes warm lye etc. are used as needed. No matter what kind of cleaning agent is used, it must be filtered frequently to keep it clean.
After cleaning, immediately apply anti-rust oil or anti-rust grease on the bearing.
