The use of self-aligning roller bearings for elevators needs to be comprehensively carried out from six aspects: installation, lubrication, operation monitoring, maintenance, fault handling, and professional operation. The specific steps are as follows:
1. Installation method
Heating installation:
Use heating oil tanks, ovens, tempering furnaces, or inductive heaters to heat the bearings to 80 ℃~100 ℃, maintain stable temperature, and avoid local overheating. Quickly insert the heated bearing onto the shaft to ensure a tight fit between the bearing and the shaft. During installation, it is necessary to wear insulated gloves to prevent burns.
Tightening sleeve or retraction sleeve installation:
For tapered hole self-aligning roller bearings, tightening sleeves or retraction sleeves can be used to install them on cylindrical shaft necks.
.During installation, it is necessary to ensure that the tightening sleeve or retraction sleeve fits tightly with the bearing inner hole to avoid loosening.
Installation of locking device:
Use locking nuts, locking washers, or locking clips and other locking devices to ensure that the bearing is firmly fixed on the shaft.
. During the installation process, attention should be paid to the direction and position of the locking device to ensure its correct installation.2. Lubrication Requirements
Choose the appropriate lubricating oil:
Select the appropriate type and viscosity of lubricating oil based on the operating environment and load conditions of the elevator.
. Ensure that the lubricating oil is clean and free of impurities to avoid wear on the bearings.Regular lubrication:
Regularly check the lubrication condition of the bearings and replenish or replace the lubricating oil in a timely manner.
. The lubrication cycle should be determined based on the frequency of elevator use and load conditions, and it is generally recommended to lubricate every certain operating time (such as thousands of hours).III. Operation Monitoring
Temperature Monitoring:
Regularly check the bearing temperature to ensure that it operates within the normal range.
. If the bearing temperature is too high, it may be caused by poor lubrication or excessive load, and it needs to be promptly investigated and dealt with.Vibration and noise monitoring:
Use tools such as vibration monitors and noise meters to regularly check the vibration and noise situation of bearings.
. If there is an abnormal increase in vibration or noise, it may be caused by bearing damage or improper installation. It is necessary to stop the machine in a timely manner for inspection and handling.IV. Maintenance
Regular Inspection:
Regularly inspect the appearance, sealing condition, and loose fasteners of the bearings.
. If damage or abnormal conditions are found in the bearings, they should be replaced or repaired in a timely manner.Cleaning and maintenance:
Regularly clean the bearings and their surrounding environment to prevent dust and impurities from entering the interior of the bearings.
. When cleaning, it is necessary to use a clean cloth or brush, and avoid using highly corrosive cleaning agents.Fifth, Fault Handling
Common faults and handling methods:
Bearing overheating: Check the lubrication, load, and cooling system, timely replenish lubricating oil, reduce load, or repair the cooling system.
. Excessive bearing vibration: Check the installation of the bearing, whether the fasteners are loose, and whether the bearing itself is damaged. Adjust the installation position, tighten the fasteners, or replace the bearing in a timely manner. Abnormal bearing noise: Check whether there are impurities inside the bearing, whether the lubrication is good, and whether the bearing is damaged. Clean the bearing in a timely manner, replenish lubricating oil, or replace the bearing.Professional maintenance:
If the bearing has serious faults or problems that cannot be handled by itself, it is necessary to promptly contact professional maintenance personnel for inspection and replacement.
.VI. Professional Operation Suggestions
Follow the operating procedures:
When installing, maintaining, and servicing self-aligning roller bearings for elevators, relevant operating procedures and safety regulations must be followed.
. Ensure that operators have the appropriate professional knowledge and skills to avoid bearing damage or safety accidents caused by improper operation.Use professional tools:
When installing and disassembling bearings, professional tools and equipment such as heaters, hydraulic pumps, and specialized wrenches should be used.
.Ensure that tools and equipment are intact and meet usage requirements, avoiding bearing damage or improper installation due to tool issues.
