# Constant Vibration and Shock Loads Cause Fatigue Damage to Bearings

## Constant Vibration and Shock Loads Cause Fatigue Damage to Bearings

Forklifts operate on uneven surfaces, experiencing constant vibration. Shock loads when hitting bumps and colliding with obstacles accelerate fatigue wear of bearings.

## Sources of Vibration

- Uneven floor and road surfaces
- Impacts when hitting obstacles
- Vibration from engine and transmission
- Oscillations from lifted loads

## Solutions

Bearings with enhanced shock resistance are used. Spherical roller bearings with reinforced cages are employed. It is recommended to use bearings with extended service life under vibratory loads.
