Introduction

An international car manufacturer was experiencing increasing temperatures of their Spherical Roller Bearings in an exhaust ventilation application. NSK was asked to find a solution in order to reduce temperature generation. NSK Engineering carried out an Application Review including a temperature survey revealing high preload leading to significant temperature rise. NSK Spherical Roller Bearings were suggested along with training of staff on proper installation in order to reduce reoccurance. A bearing trail was conducted, resulting in a considerable temperature reduction.

Key Facts

  • Exhaust Ventilation Application
  • Temperature increase causing early bearing failure
  • NSK’s solution: Using NSK Spherical Roller Bearings along with training. 
  • No temperature rise and therefore no bearing failures in over 12 months
  • Productivity improvement
  • Exhaust Ventilation
Spherical Roller Bearing
  • NSK Spherical Roller Bearing

Value Proposals

  • NSK engineering conducted a Bearing Failure Analysis showing high bearing preload leading to temperature rise
  • NSK suggested using Spherical Roller Bearings and a training of the staff on installation
  • A trail was conducted which increases bearing life from 6 month to over 12
  • The implementation of the NSK bearings was supervised by the NSK engineering team
  • Customer realized increased productivity and reduced maintenance costs
  • No bearing failure for over 12 months
