Lubrication and contamination effects on bearing life, part 2

Bearing life is influenced by many factors. Two of the most important are lubrication and contamination. Through a better understanding of the mechanisms that lead to reduced bearing life, owing to the effects of such factors, we can improve bearing design and operation. In this second part of our two-part series we focus on contamination.
