    Bearing Damage Analysis

    To learn more about each damage mode, reference the bearing damage analysis brochure, or contact your local Timken sales or service representative.

    Hard particle contamination

    Fine particle contamination

    Internal cage wear from fine particle


    contamination

    Horizontal grooving

    Typical causes include improper cleaning methods, poor oil


    filtration or seal wear.

    Corrosion on the outer ring race

    Advanced corrosion and spalling

    Fractured inner ring rib

    Roller-spaced spalling

    Typical causes include damaged packaging, improper storage


    and worn or damaged seals.

    Foreign Material

    Outer ring
    denting

    Etching and corrosion

    Race deformation from excessive


    heat generation

    Rib and roller end heat damage

    Peeling

    Typical causes include improper grease or oil viscosity,


    low flow rate and high operation temperatures.

    Corrosion/Etching

    Roller binding and skewing

    Cage deformation

    Complete bearing lockup

    Scoring
    damage on
    roller end

    Inadequate Lubrication

    Loose outer ring fit in a wheel hub

    Fracture on inner ring

    Deep dent on cage

    Metal contaminant

    Typical causes include improper tool selection (hardened drivers)


    and poor handling practices.

    Typical causes include improper handling, tools and procedures.

    Typical causes include wrong size and poor form, shaft or


    housing stress risers and inaccurate machining.

    Cage Damage

    Roller fracture

    Irregular roller path caused


    by deflection

    Fatigue spalling on ball bearing


    inner ring

    Peeling

    Irregular roller path (180 degree


    opposite of above)

    Typical causes include high load, misalignment and


    stress concentration.

    Excessive Preload, Overload and Rollout

    True metal deformation

    Roller impact damage

    Shock loading

    Roller spaced nicking

    Handling Damage

    Fatigue spalling on a cylindrical


    roller bearing

    Improper Fitting Practices in Housing or on Shaft

    Geometric Stress Concentration (GSC)


    spalling on bearing outer ring

    Typical causes include high load, shaft or housing deflection,


    inaccurate housing or shaft machining.

    Misalignment

    False brinell on a shaft where a


    cylindrical bearing was mounted

    Wear caused by vibration

    False brinell on outer race

    Typical causes include rough handling and shock loads


    exceeding the materials limits.

    Brinell and Impact Damage

    Typical causes include excessive vibration during shipment


    or when the shaft is stationary.

    False Brinelling

    Failure to observe the following warnings


    could create a risk of death or serious injury.
    Never spin a bearing with compressed air. The components may be forcefully expelled.
    Proper maintenance and handling practices are critical. Always follow installation
    instructions and maintain proper lubrication.

    Point Surface Origin (PSO) spalling

    Geometric Stress Concentration


    (GSC) spalling

    Typical causes of PSO include denting from hard particle


    contamination, nicking and handling damage. Typical causes of
    GSC include high load, misalignment and stress concentration.

    Fatigue Spalling

    Witness mark from high spot in


    the housing

    Resulting localized spalling


    in raceway

    Electric arc fluting

    Fluting caused by electric current

    Roller flats and adhesive wear

    Skidding and wear on raceway surface

    Typical causes include improper machining, grinding


    or repair methods.

    A bearing/component should not be put into service if its shelf life has been exceeded.

    Failure to follow these cautions may result in property damage.

    High Spots in Housing

    Use of improper bearing fits may cause damage to equipment.


    Do not use damaged bearings.

    Electric arc pitting

    Roller with electric arc burns

    Typical causes include improper electrical grounding of


    equipment, welding damage or static discharge.

    Burns from Electric Current

    Spherical roller bearing with


    adhesive wear

    Cylindrical roller end with


    adhesive wear

    Typical causes include improper oil film, excess cage friction


    and gross roller sliding.

    Adhesive Wear
