Friends who operate bucket elevators must also encounter some problems during use, among which bearing problems are quite common. Next, the editor will share with us which factors are prone to bearing damage during the operation of bucket elevators.

1. Axis accuracy

The bearing device is installed at both ends of the shaft, requiring good smoothness and concentricity between the two ends of the shaft. If the shaft is treated with burrs or bends, the bearing area will be subjected to greater loads.

2. Quality of the bearing body

There are many informal bearing production enterprises, and the quality of the bearings produced usually does not meet the standard requirements. If used in bucket elevators, due to the large production volume, they will be damaged in a short period of time.

3. Improper installation method

Although bearings are small components, they have high requirements on the device, such as parallelism during installation, smoothness of contact with the shaft, and tightness of the gap between the two, which are all very important. How to install and dismantle it next to the machinery? Inappropriateness can accelerate the degree of bearing damage.

4. Improper lubrication method

Long term lack of lubricating oil or use of general bearings. Bucket elevators are commonly used in dust operations. Although dust collectors are present, they cannot completely eliminate dust in the air, so dust-proof bearings should be installed; Lubricating oil is the main requirement for extending the lifespan of bearings. If lubricating oil is not added for a long time, the bearings next to the bucket elevator will be in a harsh working environment, accelerating the failure of the bearings.
