Bearings are damaged most often as a result of operation under improper lubrication conditions (no correlation between lubricant parameters and operating conditions). this often leads to the operating temperature of the grease being exceeded. Such operating conditions are either the result of the bearing operating under overload conditions (too high load causing the dropping point to be exceeded, leading to lubricant leakage and deterioration of the bearing operating conditions), or the result of improper lubrication of the bearings (application of too little grease and lack of re-lubrication of the bearing or the application of improper grease). The article presents an exemplar analysis of the influence of the exploitation process on their slow degradation.
