Research shows that 52% of the defects occurring on the bearings are due to the contamination of the bearing oil *- (* Bloch, Heinz; "Pump User's Handbook: Life Extension" 2011.)
Save bearings and improve reliability with our range of bearing protectors.
A study into equipment reliability conducted at a major refinery has published statistics on causes of equipment failure. They concluded that 40% of overall rotating equipment failures (pumps, mixers etc.) were due to bearing failure.
They further estimated that 48% of all bearing failures were due to particle contamination and a further 4% were due to corrosion (caused by liquid in the oil). Therefore 52% (total contamination cause) of 40% (bearing failures) = 20.8% of all rotating equipment failures are caused by contamination of the bearing oil.
