Brief Analysis of False Brinell Indentation in Bearings

Source: Bearing Network | Date: February 8, 2014

During the operation of a bearing, abnormal vibrations can cause unusual wear on the rolling elements and raceways. These damages often appear as small indentations that resemble Brinell indentation. This type of damage is commonly referred to as "false Brinell indentation," which occurs due to repeated oscillations and swaying during the transport or installation process.

The main causes include: - Oscillations and swaying while the bearing is stationary or in transit. - Small amplitude movements that lead to localized stress on the bearing components. - Insufficient lubrication or improper handling during transportation.

To prevent such damage, it's important to: - Secure the bearing properly during transportation, ensuring that the inner and outer rings are not in contact. - Use appropriate lubricants to reduce friction and protect against wear. - Handle bearings carefully to avoid unnecessary shocks or vibrations.


If you're experiencing issues with your bearings, it's always recommended to consult with a bearing expert for proper diagnosis and solutions. Understanding the root cause of damage can help extend the life of your equipment and improve performance.
