The head bearing of the reciprocating machine should be checked at regular intervals
Thread Content
The head bearing of the reciprocating machine should be inspected at regular intervals. During normal operation, there are no abnormalities in terms of sound or temperature, but failing to conduct inspections could lead to unplanned downtime or accidents if the bearing fails
1 Generally, the supplier will provide recommended inspection intervals. 2 In special operating conditions such as high temperature, high pressure, and high flow rates, it is advisable to follow the recommendations of the process department, using the formula “Supplier’s recommended inspection interval × (50%–150%)”. 3 Refer to the inspection intervals for similar equipment at other factories
We usually conduct a thorough inspection during the annual overhaul.
Are you asking about the connecting rod big end bearing? We usually conduct a thorough inspection during the annual major repairs.
Firstly, it is recommended that, if possible, you check the information on the devices you have been assigned; this information specifies the service life and replacement cycle of the important vulnerable components. I’m not sure if by ‘head tile’ you mean a large-headed tile. If so, the timing for carrying out intermediate and major maintenance checks on the large tiles is determined based on the operating time of the unit; whether replacement is necessary is decided according to those intervals. Personally, I suggest creating a degradation trend chart for the maintenance data.
The poster is referring to the main shaft bearings, right? Checking those bearings essentially means carrying out a major overhaul
