What are the influences of the quality of the main bearing of a screw air compressor on the operation of the air compressor

As the operating time of the air compressor increases, the bearings of the main unit will inevitably wear out, which will cause axial movement and increased radial displacement of the screws. This change will cause the clearances between the screws, between the screws and the main unit housing, and between the front and rear end faces to change. What kind of impact will it have on the machinery and equipment if the main bearing is damaged?

If the bearing of the screw air compressor head is damaged, it will cause the main unit of the screw air compressor to suddenly seize up. The occurrence of this situation is more likely to cause damage to the electrical circuit system of the screw air compressor, and the cost of repairing the main unit is also much higher than that of repairing other components.

From the perspective of normal use, if the bearing of the screw air compressor head is damaged, it will lead to a significant reduction in the compressor's exhaust volume. This is because the gap between the bearings will gradually increase with the wear of operation, resulting in a decrease in the working efficiency of the main unit. This will have an adverse effect on the operation of the equipment at the gas-consuming end, making the air compressor's operation unable to achieve the desired effect, or even unable to continue running at all. If an enterprise is unable to produce due to certain reasons, it will cause great losses to the enterprise.

3. If the bearing of the screw air compressor head is damaged, it will lead to an increase in the operating load of the main motor system of the screw air compressor, causing damage to the motor. This is mostly caused by the increased friction between the screw and the main unit. Intense friction can damage the motor to a large extent, putting the motor in an overloaded operation state, and subsequently leading to motor damage and burnout. It may even cause fires and other dangers, seriously threatening the lives and property of people.

If the main bearing of the screw air compressor is damaged, it is necessary to call professional air compressor personnel for repair in time. When it comes to the quality of the main unit bearings, there is another very important point to consider, which is to choose the brand of the air compressor.
