Extreme neglect in a bearing leads to overheating and possibly seizure or，at worst，an explosion. But even a failed bearing leaves clues as to what went wrong. After a little detective work, action can be taken to avoid a repeat performance. KEY WORDS: bearings, failures，life 1 .WHY BEARINGS FAIL An individual bearing may fail for several reasons; however, the results of an endurance test series are only meaningful when the test bearings fail by fatigue-related mechanisms. The experimenter must control the test process to ensure that this occurs. The following paragraphs deal with a few specific failure types that can affect the conduct of a life test sequence. the influence of lubrication on contact fatigue life is discussed from the standpoint of EHL film generation. There are also other lubrication-related effects that can affect the outcome of the test series. The first is particulate contaminants in the lubricant. Depending on bearing size, operating speed, and lubricant rheology, the overall thickness of the lubricant film developed at the rolling element-raceway contacts may fall between 0.05 and 0.5 ju m ? Solid particles and damage the raceway and rolling element surfaces, leading to substantially shortened endurances. Therefore，filtration of the lubricant to the desired level is necessary to ensure meaningful test result. The desired level is determined by the application which the testing purports to approximate. If this degree of filtration is not provided，effects of contamination must be considered when evaluating test results. The moisture content in the lubricant is another important consideration. It has long been apparent that quantities of free water in the oil cause corrosion of the rolling contact surfaces and thus have a detrimental e
