Bearings Are Designed To Last ! SKF : they have a design life of 50.000 hours ! Effective life is less than 3000 hours! They damage shaft / allow oil to leak out and Environment leak in! Almost 90% of the Bearings fail ….. …. they do NOT reach the design life ! 80 % of premature bearing failure are caused by faulty lubrication and/or contamination !

14. CHESTERTON © Copyright 2009 A.W. Chesterton, All rights Reserved 14 Attack the Root Causes and Maximize Bearing Life ! THE FINAL Protection to the Bearing is the Lubricant…The Root Cause of Poor Bearing Life is NOT LUBRICATION PRACTICES or Poor MAINTENANCE but Using Lubricants that are Deficient in PREVENTING CORROSION, WEAR, and PITTING.

This molecular surface chemistry passivates the steel and extends bearing life by reactively fusing a “wear shield” onto the contact surfaces. Micro porosity is “filled in” and reactive Fe++ ions are inhibited. QBT™ works even in the presence of up to 30% water contamination.

35. CHESTERTON © Copyright 2009 A.W. Chesterton, All rights Reserved 35 Chesterton QBT™ – Technology Overview Chesterton's QBT™ Grease Family is formulated using a surplus of Lubricity, EP and Anti-Wear additives, blended into a highly refined base oil, and thickened with a metallic organo-sulfonate complex. The resulting grease is "Best in Class" with respect to EP, Lubricity, Corrosion & Water Resistance. Unlike conventional Aluminum, Calcium, & Lithium soap and complexed thickeners, Chesterton QBT™ based greases are immune to hydrolysis or water breakdown. The grease remains functional even in heavy water contaminated bearings and equipment. QBT™ (Quiet Bearing Technology) uses state of the art tribological technology to reduce vibration and ultra-sonic bearing noise. Proprietary polar and non-polar additives and thickener chemically fuse to the metal surfaces filling in asperities to form a "wear shield" on the metal surfaces. This fusion of lubricating additives and thickeners to the molecular surface of the metal, protects the bearings from WEAR, PRESSURE and WATER CORROSION.
