For over 20 years J A D Analysis has carried out investigations and inspections on failed or damaged ball and roller bearings. Our aim is to provide engineering companies, the bearing distribution trade and any user of bearings with a source for straightforward, plain English, reports to assist either in the prevention of future failures or to help in the resolution of bearing performance complaints.
Bearing Failure Inspection and Analysis
Understanding why a bearing has failed is one of the best ways to prevent the same failure from happening again. Almost all bearing failures and damage are either caused by:
- Improper lubrication
- Contamination
- Poor installation
- Handling or maintenance regimes
All these reasons can be prevented in future once identified.
The team at J A D Analysis has years of experience studying bearing damage and failures that have occurred in automotive, agricultural, general and heavy engineering applications. We extract evidence from the bearing parts and, where available, their mating components; with this evidence we carry out a failure analysis of the application to determine the most likely root cause of the problem.
Failure Inspection
J A D Analysis provides its customers with a source of straightforward failure analysis reports to assist in the resolution of customer complaints or technical queries. We try to keep our reports on a common sense basis and do not generally resort to complex calculations of stress or metallurgical analysis unless demanded.
