Factors that Affect Ball Bearing Life

Factors that Affect Ball Bearing Life
Ball bearings are essential to the operation of your car, but their lifespan is not set in stone. Several factors affect the lifespan of automotive ball bearings:

Material and manufacturing quality: The lifespan of a ball bearing depends on the quality of its materials and production methods. Good quality steel and fine manufacturing processes extend the life of the bearing.
Maintenance and lubrication: Regular use of a proper bearing lubricant is essential. It minimizes friction and keeps out contaminants, which directly affects the lifespan of the bearing.
Driving conditions and use: Rough terrain, frequent stops, and extreme temperatures accelerate bearing wear, while continuous driving on smooth roads can extend the lifespan of the bearing.
