Methods For Checking Mechanical Bearings of Screening Equipment
Jan 04, 2024| In order to maintain a high-efficiency and high-precision screening state of the screening equipment and extend its service life, users should regularly inspect and maintain all components of the screening equipment. Due to the fact that the bearings of the vibrating screen are important rotating parts of the equipment, special attention should be paid during daily maintenance and inspection. Timely detection and repair of damaged bearings can effectively avoid damage to the vibrating screen equipment caused by bearing damage and extend the service life of the equipment.
Although there are specialized testing instruments for vibrating screen bearings on the market at present, traditional testing methods such as listening, touching, and looking cannot be abandoned. This article will be explained in detail by Gaofu Company to explain the method of relying on listening to test vibrating screen bearings.

Using auditory perception to identify irregular movements of vibrating screen bearings is a common inspection method, as follows:
1. Excessive or insufficient clearance between equipment bearings can cause abnormal metallic noise;
2. The appearance of dents on the outer track of mechanical equipment bearings can cause a smooth and crisp sound, and cause vibration;
3. The impact marks caused during installation will generate noise and vary with the speed of the bearing;
4. Damage to the rolling parts of the vibrating screen bearings can cause intermittent noise;
5. When there are pollutants inside the bearings of the vibrating screen, it can cause hissing noise;
6. Severe damage to the bearings of the vibrating screen can produce significant noise;
The above is a summary of common methods for identifying bearing noise in vibrating screens. However, if there is noise from the vibrating screen bearings, it is recommended to replace the bearings immediately in order to avoid more serious damage to the vibrating screen equipment. So, it is still recommended to use electronic condition monitoring instruments to detect bearing problems in time.
Good daily maintenance habits can greatly avoid problems with the vibrating screen bearings. Regular inspection of the bearings and regular lubrication and maintenance are more important.
