Storage of rolling bearings

Rolling bearings should be stored carefully to ensure that they remain in perfect condition until they are used. Here are some best practices for storing rolling bearings:

• Cleanliness: Ensure that the bearings and the environment in which they are stored are clean and free from dust, dirt and moisture. Contamination can damage the bearings.

• Packaging: Store the rolling bearings in their original packaging or in special storage containers that protect them from dust, dirt and moisture. The packaging should be sturdy to protect the bearings from damage.

• Storage location: Store the bearings in a dry place with a constant temperature and humidity. Avoid locations with strong temperature fluctuations or direct sunlight.

• Stacking: The bearings should only be stacked in their original packaging and only high enough to prevent them from falling over. Even when moving them, you should only carry so many that no bearings fall down or damage your back. The bearings must be protected from knocks, falling etc.

By following these measures, you can ensure that your bearings remain in optimum condition and their service life is maximized.
