[Electric Boats] Re: Bearing Storage and Intermittent Use

 

Thanks Erik,

Yes, it would . The whole point made by the guy was that the bearing balls or rollers were static against the race surfaces for extended periods. It was stated that even in a regular house, with no industrial vibration, this would occur, due to things like the vibes from passing vehicles. It is just about impossible to isolate a stored bearing from vibration, apparently.

 

Personally, I don't think that it is a big factor, but I am thinking that it might be prudent if taking a long trip, to make the room to have any stored spare bearings laid flat, rather than packing them into a vertical space.

 

John

Good post John!  I remember being told that when I was an apprentice mechanic

oh so many years ago. 

I wonder if letting the prop freewheel (turn) would solve the problem in our case?  Erik
