Pre-mature bearing failures on shaft generators

Pre-mature bearing failures on shaft generators

Premature bearing failure on shaft generators can be a significant issue for any operation that relies on a continuous power supply. It can result in unplanned downtime, raised power production costs, reduced productivity, and potential damage to equipment. Common causes of premature bearing failure include poor lubrication, improper installation, excessive loads or electrical issues.

When a bearing fails, it may exhibit symptoms such as abnormal noise, increased temperature or vibration. Addressing these symptoms as soon as possible is crucial to prevent further damage or failure.


Prevent premature bearing failure

To avoid premature bearing failure, proper maintenance and inspection are key. Regular lubrication checks and bearing inspections should be performed and any issues should be promptly addressed by qualified technicians. Additionally, implementing a preventative maintenance program can help identify potential issues before they become major problems.

Overall, being proactive and vigilant in maintaining and monitoring shaft generators is essential to ensure a reliable and uninterrupted power supply for your operation. By properly maintaining equipment and addressing issues promptly, you can avoid costly downtime and ensure the safety and reliability of your operations.
