Abstract
Provided is a method for cleaning a rolling bearing and a rolling bearing cleaning device capable of cleaning a rolling bearing easily in a short time. The method for cleaning a rolling bearing including a plurality of rolling elements and a race provided with a race groove along which the rolling elements roll involves arranging a cleaning liquid in a pressurized state on one side in an axial direction of the rolling bearing across a whole circumference thereof with respect to a gap between the rolling elements and the race groove, and cleaning the rolling bearing by passing the cleaning liquid through the gap from one side in the axial direction toward the gap on the other side thereof.
Claims5
A method for cleaning a rolling bearing including a plurality of rolling elements, and a race provided with a race groove along which the rolling elements roll, the method comprising:
- arranging a cleaning liquid in a pressurized state on one side in an axial direction of the rolling bearing across a whole circumference thereof with respect to a gap between the rolling elements and the race groove;
- and
- cleaning the rolling bearing by passing the cleaning liquid through the gap from one side in the axial direction toward the gap on the other side thereof;
- an upstream end of the whole circumference of the rolling bearing is contained within a sealed space, and the cleaning liquid is filled in the sealed space and is put to the pressurized state to force the liquid across the whole circumference and in the axial direction through the gap.
