The document shows percentages of failure causes for bearings. Over 15% of failures were caused by wrong or aged lubricant (22%) and bearing dirty, coarse particles or liquids (19%). Between 10-15% of failures were caused by those same two causes. Under 10% of failures were attributed to manufacturing/dimensioning issues (6%), installation or maintenance failures (7%), vibration from motors or loads (8%), grease levels being wrong (14%), wrong alignment (11%), and bearing currents or insulation issues (9%).
