PTI Can Help Diagnose Bearing Failures July 23, 2018 by Lauren Ansley, PTI P.T. International regularly works with distributors and end users to help diagnose bearing failures. The elements of a bearing tell the story of its life similar to how a black box tells the story of an airplane. PTI will examine a bearing and help to determine why it failed and offer recommendations to help prevent future failures. How It Works: When you’re ready to start the process, simply contact your Local Sales Rep. They’ll be glad to get more information from you and then help guide you through the process. Once the reason(s) for the failure is uncovered… PTI can recommend possible application adjustments to extend the life of the bearing. And we may also provide suggested lubrication “best practices” including re-greasing intervals and proper types of grease to use.
