Care and Maintenance of Bearings
Smearing Home >> Technical Support >> Care and Maintenance of Bearings
Condition Cause Solution
Surface is roughened and tiny particles adhere. Rolling elements slip in rolling motion and characteristics of lubricant are too poor to prevent slippage.
  1. Select optimum lubricant and lubrication system capable of forming sound oil film.
  2. Use a lubricant including extreme pressure additive.
  3. Take precautions such as a small radial clearance and pre-load to prevent slippage.
