Characteristic operational defects, damages and destructions of aviation bearings
The article presents the characteristic performance defects, damage and destruction of aircraft rolling bearings of civil aircraft. Article submissions are based on a synthesis of the results of research into the causes of failure and destruction, different in their use of rolling bearings manufacturing aircraft, carried out in the State Research Institute of Civil Aviation. Presented photos bearings standard design with typical operational defects. Outlines the most common faults in the composition of the main component of an aircraft, in this case the main gearbox VR-14, as well as the existing structural funds availability control chips in the oil system products as an indirect sign of the beginning of the bearing failure, as well as advanced technical methods of diagnosis.
