Why does overloading of slurry pump bearings lead to premature bearing failure?

Why does overloading of horizontal slurry pumps cause premature bearing failure? Because overloading generates heat, heat is a common cause of premature bearing failure. Let's analyze it next.
1. Heating will cause the viscosity of the lubricant to decrease, and the lubricating oil film will lose its ability to support the load, resulting in more heat. Another also forms a varnish residue that then chars at high temperatures. This coking creates solid particles that destroy the lubricant's ability to lubricate the bearings. This will cause premature bearing failure.
2. In addition to overload, the bearing box obtains heat through the following ways: the bearing oil level is too high or too low; the loss of the isolation fluid between the double end face seals causes the temperature to rise, thereby conducting heat to the vehicle bearing; the cooling of the bearing box Defective; the grease or lip seal close to the bearing is in contact with the pump shaft;
3. The life of bearing oil is also directly related to heat. For every 10 degrees increase in oil temperature, the life of the bearing oil will be halved. This means that controlling the temperature of the lubricating oil is crucial to increasing the service life of the bearings.
