these key findings are given below. More than one-third of bearing failures is due to imperfect lubrication. In many
more cases, which cannot be traced directly to imperfect lubrication, it’s still the underlying cause. Molykote®, the
smart lubricant from Dow Corning has a complete range of products for use in assembly and continuous lubrication
under some of the most challenging condition, backed by service from distributors Project Sales Corp. Explore your

16% Around 16% of all premature bearing failures are due to poor fitting and use of
incorrect tools. Correct fitting tools and methodologies for efficient mounting and
dismounting are available from your bearing suppliers. Molykote® assembly pastes like
GN+ and G Rapid Plus when used during press-fitting operations avoids scuffing and
scoring, and enable easy disassembly after long period of service by avoiding fretting
corrosion. For more technical information on the subject, log onto

13 % Contamination from dust and water lead to about 13% of all premature bearing
failures. Water in bearing >100 ppm can reduce bearing life by 30-80%. Bearings working
in severe dust environment go through a phase of abrasive wear before complete failure.
Use of good quality seals, to isolate the bearing and lubricant from contamination can
extend the bearing life. Silicone compounds like 111 available from Molykote® can
supplement the sealing effect and use of specialty greases can prolong bearing life.
Molykote® greases have proven themselves in applications where continuous water contact
or high humidity is present. To know more log onto www.molykote.com and download the

Above all else, you will need the services of lubrication experts. The expertise is now
available for a fee from Dow Corning (www.dowcorning.com) and Noria (www.noria.com).
