How does the friction loss of deep groove ball bearings affect its service life?

Friction loss is an inevitable phenomenon during the operation of deep groove ball bearings. The heat generated by this loss can cause bearing parts to become hotter, affecting bearing performance and service life. Friction loss will worsen the lubrication state of the bearing, thereby increasing the friction coefficient and further aggravating the wear and aging of the bearing. In addition, long-term friction loss may also cause surface wear of bearing parts, increasing surface roughness, thereby increasing friction loss and energy loss. Under high load, high speed and long-term operation, bearing parts are susceptible to greater stress, which can lead to fatigue cracks and fractures and shorten the service life of the bearing.

Therefore, controlling friction loss is an important factor in ensuring the normal operation of deep groove ball bearings and extending their life. In order to reduce friction losses, a series of effective measures need to be taken. First, it is crucial to choose the appropriate grease and maintain good lubrication. Appropriate grease can effectively reduce friction and wear inside the bearing and reduce energy loss. Secondly, controlling the load on the bearings and avoiding overload operation can effectively reduce friction losses. In addition, improving the accuracy and assembly quality of bearings and ensuring the normal operation of bearings is also one of the effective ways to reduce friction losses.

In addition to the above measures, regular inspection and maintenance of bearings are also key to reducing friction losses. Regularly checking the lubrication status of the bearings, removing dirt and impurities inside the bearings, and promptly replacing seriously worn bearing parts can effectively extend the service life of the bearings. In addition, paying attention to the use environment and working conditions of the bearings and avoiding use under harsh conditions is also one of the important measures to reduce friction losses.
