Overview:

Because genuine, high-quality bearings can ensure the long-term, normal operation of centrifuges, their service life can exceed 10 years.

Next, I’ll share with you several common causes of bearing overheating in laboratory centrifuges, as well as corresponding solutions.

1. It may be caused by overload and overloading.

2. It could also be due to the heat generated by mechanical friction.

But the most critical underlying issue is whether the bearing is genuine. Some users, in pursuit of lower prices, opt for cheaper bearings. However, such bearings are prone to overheating—even burning out—resulting in serious damage. That’s why it’s essential to choose genuine bearings. After all, genuine, high-quality bearings can ensure the centrifuge operates smoothly and reliably over the long term, with a service life that can exceed 10 years.

In addition, we must pay close attention to lubricating the machinery. We should choose high-quality lithium-based grease for high temperatures—after all, the quality of the high-temperature lithium-based grease can significantly affect bearing heating. Therefore, we need to carry out particularly careful inspections. If mechanical friction produces unusual noises, it’s clear that the machinery has already experienced wear and tear, and the bearings may be loose. In such cases, it’s evident that the issue lies with the bearings, and they should be replaced promptly.

North Korea's nuclear alloy materials can be used to manufacture centrifuges.

The uranium enrichment centrifuge developed by China National Nuclear Corporation is being used in nuclear power generation.
