I. Inspection and judgment
In order to judge whether the removed needle roller bearing can be reused, it is necessary to check its dimensional accuracy, rotation accuracy, internal clearance, mating surface, raceway surface, cage and sealing ring.
The inspection results may be judged by those who are familiar with needle roller bearings or proficient in needle roller bearings.
The criteria for judging vary according to mechanical properties and importance as well as inspection periods.If the following damage occurs, needle roller bearings must not be reused and must be replaced.
A) Fracture and defect of needle roller bearing parts.
B) Peel off the rolling surface of the raceway surface.
2. When cleaning and removing needle roller bearing for inspection, make appearance records by means of photography.In addition, confirm the amount of remaining lubricant and sample the lubricant before cleaning the needle roller bearings.
