Avoid These 3 Common Mistakes When Lubricating Bearings

[@lowellwhite8810]

Thank you. This vid came up in my self-study of modern lubricants The evolution of lubricants has given us such superb materials to work with. Diagnostocs has given remarkable abilities to get just the right lubricants in right amounts in time. What i like most and what i thought revolutionary is how this points out and now makes a lie of the common wisdom that we should use more because oil/grease is cheap insurance. Now too much is only better way too little. Or do i misunderstand?

[@samheninger505]

Im old school and can just tell kinda by feel sound and how something acts.8 -10 decimals basically is about twice as loud so for anyone without the utrasonic pay me money meter.just add a few pumps if you notice a change at start up

[@leonidaratovski1403]

how you know what Decibel should make my bearings?

[@SDTHearMore]

Every bearing is different, from size, materials used, processes, load, environment operated within. There is no one answer.

[@blondprince9507]

Thank you sir for this presentation , really appreciate that . A question , can we use this on helicopter bearing Best regards

[@SDTHearMore]

In general yes, feel free to send us an email if you have a specific question: [e-mail]

Grease my old excavator every day before starting the day. Still tight with very little play in joints. Greasing works.

[@sarahelinburg8308]

Too much grease and you will blow the bearings and cause more problems.

[@danielyoder1462]

The bearings on an excavator are also operated at low speeds. Also it’s bushings not bearings on an excavator boom which is a totally different application

I clicked off at 1:20, once I realized it's a 16 min infomercial. I grease my equipment every few hours. Grease is cheaper than parts.

[@SDTHearMore]

Sure but the main idea is not to lubricate bearings on a time-based schedule but on a condition-based schedule.

[@danielyoder1462]

“Grease is cheaper than parts” is almost exactly what they are saying. Proper maintenance is cheaper than parts and they are helping with proper maintenance

would not use the term "infant mortality" when describing premature bearing failure.

[@SDTHearMore]

Hi Robert, it's a commonly used term in industry. We don't use it anymore, but this is an old video.

what is this instrument

The information is very interesting ,although not pertanent to me. Thanks for the video.

[@Mike_Savin]

So what is the best lubricant for bearings ??? ... Is it grease, white lithium, singer oil ?

[@SDTHearMore]

Well all depends on the working condition of your assets :)

[@tommurphy4307]

I.e., what kind of bearing and what application?

[@floweuphoria69420]

@@SDTHearMore I am wondering specifically for an evaporator fan inside a refrigerator it gets very very cold and the fan might produce some heat through its operation but there was rust on the shaft and bearing farthest away from the brushless part

[@im-that-guy-pal]

I mean yeah thats a high-tech tool but for the average mechanic.. is it necessary?

[@SDTHearMore]

Hi Jake ! The notion of necessary is all relative to your economic reality. Is it necessary to apply this approach to lubricate an engine that operates 10 hours per year and for which the criticality is low? Probably not not. Is it necessary or useful to do this on critical rolling bearings in a metallurgical production where the production stoppage amounts to several tens of thousands of €/$ per hour? It's up to you to answer. #hearmore

[@900stx7]

No.

[@vladislavovich100]

Just show how much lubrication needed in the bearing.

[@SDTHearMore]

It depends on the bearing condition, speed and level of friction.

Me, a skateboarder. Cool. Cool.

[@jackass72]

Fuck you and your skateboard too! Do you realize how many fidget spinners aren't being properly lubricated? Some people are so selfish!

TL;DR?

[@SuperAcerx]

Mistake #1 - Lubricating based on TIME instead of CONDITION Mistake #2 - Over and Under Lubrication Mistake #3 - Using a “Listen-Only” Ultrasound Instrument was looking for that aswell

how about a nice hawaiian punch?

Act now. The bearing in your fidget spinner will thank you later and you will be rewarded with many years of trouble-free service. You've been warned!

Bad take. Your poor bearings.
