SMEARS
^
Smearing of metal due to slippage. Slippage can be caused by poor fits, lubrication, overheating, overloads or handling damage. Replace bearings,
clean related parts and check for proper fit and lubrication.
STAIN DISCOLORATION
^
Discoloration can range from light brown to black caused by incorrect lubricant or moisture. Reuse bearing if stains can be removed by light
polishing or if no evidence of overheating is observed. Check seals and related parts for damage.
HEAT DISCOLORATION
^
Heat discoloration can range from faint yellow or dark blue resulting from overload or incorrect lubricant. Excessive heat can cause softening of
races or rollers. To check for loss of temper on races or rollers a simple file test may be made. A file drawn over a tempered part will grab and cut
metal, whereas a file drawn over a hard part will glide readily with no metal cutting. Replace bearings if overheating damage is indicated. Check
seals and other parts.
