Bearings are essential machinery components. Bearings protect the moving shaft from wear and damage, keeping it in place with little friction. They need to be lubricated in order to do so. Oil/grease lubricated bearings and self-lubricating plastic bearings are common but often times not capable of handling extreme situations. Below are the main reasons either option might fail.
Reason #1: High Temperatures
Reason #2: Low Temperatures
Reason #3: Vibration
Reason #4: Corrosives and Washout
Reason #5: Dust, Ash, and other particulates
Reason #6: Dry Run and Low Viscosity Pumpage
Reason #7: Heavy Loads
Reason #8: Infrequent Operation/Inactivity
