# Frequent Starts and Stops Increase Friction and Reduce Service Life

## Frequent Starts and Stops Increase Friction and Reduce Service Life

Forklifts perform numerous starts and stops during a work shift. Each cycle generates impact loads and increases friction in bearings.

## Wear Factors

- Impact loads during start-up
- Increased friction during acceleration
- Wear of lubricant film
- Accumulation of fatigue damage

## Solutions

Bearings with extended service life and high impact resistance are used. Bearings with optimized geometry for boundary friction conditions are applied. It is recommended to use re-lubricable bearings.
