Preventing damage
Wear measurements enable early detection of technical problems before they result in unscheduled plant stoppages. Unnecessary repair costs and expensive production downtimes are thus avoided. We therefore recommend regular bearing wear measurements in order to assess the condition of a bearing.
The wear which affects the raceway system makes itself felt in a change of the axial motion or the axial reduction. Depending on the application or bearing version, this increase in wear can be determined by measuring the tilting clearance or by taking reduction measurements.
