•elliptical wear marks in an axial direction at each
ball position with a bright finish and sharp
demarcation•often surrounded by a
ring of brown debris
SymptomsFalse Brinelling

Causes•vibrations in stationary
machines leading to micro motion between rolling
elements & raceways•when the bearing isn’t turning, an oil film cannot be formed to prevent
raceway wear
False Brinelling
![Page 5: Fag roller bearing damages (excellent)](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022012405/55a695611a28ab57148b4675/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)

Symptoms•discoloration of the rings, rolling elements and cages
from gold to blue•temperatures in excess of 400°F can anneal ring and rolling element materials,
reducing the bearing capacity and causing
early failure
Overheating
![Page 7: Fag roller bearing damages (excellent)](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022012405/55a695611a28ab57148b4675/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)

interference fits exceed the radial clearance at
operating temperatures•continued operation
under such conditions
leads to rapid wear and fatigue
![Page 21: Fag roller bearing damages (excellent)](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022012405/55a695611a28ab57148b4675/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
