Failure mode analysis of automobile water pump bearings


Recommended Posts

According to the engineer's statement of Feilong Jiangli .Automobile water pump is the key component of the engine cooling system. One end of the pump bearing inputs torque through the pulley, which drives the other end of the blade to rotate. In order to meet the development requirements of high power and high efficiency of the engine, higher performance requirements for pump bearings are put forward. Fracture, corrosion, peeling and grease leakage are common failure modes of automobile water pump bearings. Fracture is the most harmful. Therefore, it is necessary to analyze the failure modes of fracture and formulate corresponding preventive measures.

The chemical composition, hardness, metallographic structure and heat treatment process of the broken shaft were determined by inspection and analysis to meet the requirements of relevant technical specifications. However, the toughness of the bearing after quenching is insufficient, resulting in low flexural torsional fatigue strength. The load of the pulley is transmitted to the pump bearing through the flange, and the receding groove at the back of the flange has a notch effect at the tip, which is the stress concentration position and the crack source is easy to appear. Therefore, it is necessary to change the heat treatment process of the pump bearing and optimize the geometry of the pump shaft.

      The phenomenon that two objects move relative to each other to produce motion resistance between their contact surfaces is called friction, which is called friction. The existence of friction not only increases the power consumption, but also causes the wear of parts' contact surfaces. Therefore, lubricating oil is usually used between the relative moving surfaces of automobile parts to reduce friction. Failure of automotive parts 75% is caused by friction.
      Friction can be divided into dry friction, liquid friction, boundary friction and mixed friction according to the lubrication state of the parts.
      (1) dry friction
      The friction between the frictional surfaces without any lubricating medium is called dry friction.
      When the parts are in the state of dry friction, the surface of the parts is abraded sharply, so the surface of the moving parts of the automobile should avoid the occurrence of dry friction as far as possible.
      Dry friction and boundary friction are the main friction between the upper part of cylinder wall and piston ring. Dry friction will occur when the journal and bearing are subjected to impact load in the working process.
      (2) liquid friction
      Two the friction of the friction surface when the lubricant is completely separated is called liquid friction.
      In liquid friction, the two friction surfaces are completely separated by a layer of lubricating oil film with a thickness of 1.5-2.0um, which avoids direct contact between the working surfaces of the two parts. Friction only occurs between the lubricating fluid molecules, so the friction resistance is very small, and the wear of the parts is very slight.
      Most of the relative motion parts of a car are carried out under the condition of liquid friction (for example, crankshaft and bearing).
      (3) boundary friction
      Two friction surface separated by a very thin boundary film is called boundary friction.
      The oil film thickness is usually below 0.1um. Friction only occurs between the outer molecules of the boundary film, reducing the friction and wear of the parts. But its thickness is very small, and it is easy to be destroyed by impact and high temperature, so it is not as reliable as liquid friction.
      For example: between cylinder wall and piston ring; if the work crankshaft and journal between the insufficient supply of lubricant, easy to produce boundary friction.
      (4) Mixed friction
      The friction between two friction surfaces in the presence of dry friction, liquid friction and boundary friction is called mixed friction.
      In the actual working state, the parts usually work under the mixed friction state, and the friction state varies with the working conditions.

      link hidden, please login to view NTN, the parent company of BCA Bearings, is proud to announce the launch of BCA’s 2024 Endless Summer promotion. During the promotion, BCA’s warehouse distributor customers can earn BCA-branded, premium merchandise with orders of BCA wheel hub assemblies, bearings and seals.
      “We are thrilled to announce the BCA Endless Summer promotion” said Patrick Cronin, Marketing Manager, Automotive Aftermarket. “The Endless Summer theme evokes a relaxed and carefree feeling that we all strive to achieve; the same carefree feeling we want associated with using our premium parts. We are looking forward to summer and another great promotion.”
      BCA’s Endless Summer promotion enables distributor customers to earn tiered packages of BCA branded merchandise with qualifying orders, which they can then use to conduct their own localized promotions. This allows the BCA-branded merchandise to reach every level of the distribution channel, from the parts professionals and service advisors who recommend BCA products to the technicians that install them.
      The Endless Summer theme is meant to embody the warm summer feeling you wish would never end, and the promo items were selected to complement the theme and keep summer going long after Labor Day has come and gone. A floating stress relief keychain, waterproof phone pouch and backpack keep your valuables high and dry during a day at the beach. A misting water bottle and insulated picnic basket keep you and your snacks cool as the classic triangle kite drifts above in the summer breeze. Get out of the sun with the pop up shelter as you relax on the beach lounge pad, and then fire up the mini tabletop fire pit to roast marshmallows for smores. Now you’re living the Endless Summer with BCA.
      BCA’s 2024 Endless Summer promotion runs from May 1 through June 30, 2024. For participation details, please contact a BCA Sales Representative or Customer Relations Advocate.
