Thanks for your responses. Diamondjim, I feel the same, that there are vibrations transmitted onto the gears from an external source or a machinery which might cause false brinelling, when the equipment is not in operation.
However, in this case even after pre-loading the bearings, we observe...
I require some inputs from the members here regarding the false brinelling wear observed on the gear.
The shaft carries two helical gears. Only one gear is engaged during power transmission and the other freewheels. The gears are mounted on tapered roller bearings (TRB) and at one end of...
MEnut:
The end play or pre-load of the tapered roller bearing depends on the application. Though there are thumb rules, but when one needs an exact answer it is better to contact the manufacturers. The setting of the bearing to end play or pre-load can change during the operation due to...
