How to clean precision angular contact ball bearings correctly?

When we use precision angular contact ball bearings, we all know that the bearings need to be cleaned after a period of use, in order to increase the operating efficiency of the equipment and prolong the service life. But many people use the wrong cleaning method, so how to clean precision angular contact ball bearings correctly? Let’s introduce it to you from the editor of Rockwell!

1. Wrong cleaning method of precision angular contact ball bearings

Now many precision angular contact ball bearing manufacturers generally use the wrong cleaning process, and they continue to use the old process decades ago, which is to prepare a basin of gasoline and a basin of kerosene, and put the bearing in the basin to rotate. Cleaning, whether it is immersing all the bearings in oil for cleaning, or immersing half of the bearings in oil and rotating and cleaning, can not clean the dirt inside the precision angular contact ball bearing. The reason is that no matter which method is used, it is Operation in a basin, even if one of the bearings is cleaned, the foreign matter in the basin will enter the subsequent bearings, causing repeated contamination of the bearings, and the cleaning effect cannot be achieved.

Since it is said that most of the cleaning methods used are wrong, what is the correct cleaning method for precision angular contact ball bearings? Let’s take a look!

2. The correct cleaning method for precision angular contact ball bearings

The correct method of cleaning precision angular contact ball bearings is mainly operated by equipment. The use of this equipment has the advantages of energy saving and flexible, high cleaning efficiency, convenient maintenance, etc., which overcomes the traditional manual cleaning effect of insignificant and labor-intensive defects.

The shape of the special equipment for bearing cleaning is similar to a handwashing station. The difference is that the equipment is equipped with a tank oil sump, which is composed of the same pipe connected to multiple water pipes, but the inside of the equipment is that aviation kerosene is replaced by water. Just open the water pipe, aviation kerosene flows out from the water pipe, and the bearing is cleaned by the flowing kerosene, so that the impurities in the bearing are directly washed away by the flowing kerosene until it is cleaned. The washed impurity kerosene is integrated into the inside of the equipment, which is equipped with multiple layers of special materials for filtering impurities. After the impurity kerosene is filtered and processed, the filtered oil will be directly returned to the tank oil pool for recycling. The use of this equipment not only improves the cleaning effect of the bearing, but also saves a lot of maintenance costs without worrying about the waste of kerosene.

After the above answers to the question of how to clean precision angular contact ball bearings correctly, it is known that the correct bearing cleaning method is mainly operated by special equipment, and the cleaning effect of the equipment is far better than manual cleaning and more efficient.
