What is a Bearing?
Scratch
Bearings can rust on the edges and outer side of the hard
steel backing if unprotected. The bearing’s soft metal inner
lining is easily damaged by contact with hard metal objects.
What is a Bearing?
Heat Treatment
Some bearings are tempered through a heat treatment
process. This is NOT rust. It is not a non-conformance.
Bearing Non-Conformances
Cummins Engineering Standard 16113 defines all
non-conformances for bearing shells. This is a
Cummins controlled document for internal use only.
The Engineering Standard is kept on file in the
Cummins EBU Product Life Cycle database.
