# Impact of Moisture and Water from Cooling and Water Treatment Systems

## The Problem of Moisture

Water and moisture are the primary causes of corrosion and bearing failure in metallurgy. Cooling, flushing, and water treatment systems create a humid environment around equipment.

## Consequences of Moisture Exposure

- Corrosion — formation of rust on raceways

- Lubricant hydrolysis — breakdown of the oil film

- Cavitation — bubble formation and erosion

- Freezing — at sub-zero temperatures

## Moisture-Resistant Bearings

## Our Products for Wet Conditions:

- Bearings with labyrinth seals

- DD and LLB type rubber seals

- Ceramic bearings (moisture-resistant)

- Bearings with preservative lubricant

## Recommendations

- Use bearings with increased internal clearance

- Apply water-repellent lubricants

- Install additional seals

- Perform regular relubrication

## Order bearings for wet operating conditions.
