SINO BEARINGSMay 23, 2022

1, be sure to install correctly

Improper installation will greatly shorten the service life of self-lubricating bearings. This is almost universally understood, so do not easily try to install their own, should be by professional technical personnel, the use of professional technical tools to install adjustment, and lubrication bearings.

2. Be sure to lubricate properly

Lubrication is the most critical step in the standard maintenance of self-lubricating bearings. Lack of lubrication, it is easy to cause severe wear due to greater friction. But too much lubrication will also affect the normal use, so proper lubrication, regular lubrication is ok.

3, avoid application of environmental pollution

Pollution sources must be avoided, long-term use in a heavily polluted environment, naturally will easily cause serious corrosion, and even oxidation reaction. It is likely to affect its function and service life will be greatly shortened.

4, avoid fatigue work

Long-term overload fatigue use, then it will inevitably cause damage, which is not conducive to prolong the service life, should be overdone.
