1. Determine the most complete operating condition information.
2. Related photos in the process.
3. Comparison of lubricant samples in use and unused.
4. Mark the bearing and its location in the equipment.
5. Carefully disassemble the bearing to avoid unnecessary additional damage.
6. Check other machine parts to determine collateral damage.
7. Confirm the bearing base and valve seat.
8. Confirm the condition and distribution of lubricant in the bearing. If possible, take additional samples.
9. Clean the bearings and components, and if possible, record the logo, brand and full name.
10. Realize the analysis of bearings and corresponding parts. Take other photos.
11. Compare the failure mode standard photos provided by the International Standards Organization 15243 and/or the bearing manufacturer to determine the cause of the failure.
12. Determine the necessary corrective actions to avoid the same failure again.
13. Protect and retain faulty bearings for future comparison.
14. Example: Some of the above cases will be shown.
15. Interactive exercise: During the seminar, some interactive cases of bearing failure will be shown
16. Conclusions and suggestions.
