Bearing Quality
If a bearing fails to meet industry standards, it will be unable to distribute force on the rollers/balls even-
ly. Failing to meet these standards will not only create metal particles in the oil and increase operating
temperature, it could also imbalance the pump shaft. It is essential that the pumps only use high-quality
bearings with tight tolerances.
To ensure your bearing is functioning correctly, check the following things:
•
All roller balls are present in the ball bearing
•
When rotated, all rollerballs make contact with both surfaces and roll and don't slip
•
Make sure there is very little play when holding the exterior ring and applying force
to the side with the larger interior ring
•
Look for perfectly round roller balls. Any discoloration and dents can be a sign of a
bad bearing
