Abstract:
This paper reviews a detailed study of bearings and its housing, a comprehensive stress analysis was carried out on bearing housing components in order to identify the stress concentration of the bearing housing with the aim of improving bearing life. Solid work software was employed to identify the causes of constant wear and bearing failures. The factors considered for the stress analysis of components of the boogies are 5000kg load, 250o C sterilizing temperature and a pressure of 3 bar. The results of this review indicated that the frequent failure of the worn bearing housing components was however, as a result of the applied pressure that exceeded the yield strength. It was recommended that production of nano lubricants or incorporation of nano composite coatings could help increase bearing life and its housing.
