On the Application of Hydrogen Peroxide in Bearing Cleaning

Those who have doubts about whether hydrogen peroxide can be used to clean bearings. Let me explain in detail.

Hydrogen peroxide has strong oxidizing properties, and its effectiveness is inherent in the cleaning of things. However, it is used for bearing cleaning, with both advantages and disadvantages.

The advantage is that hydrogen peroxide can decompose in case of stains. With its oxidizing properties, it can remove oil stains and rust on the bearing surface. Oxidative decomposition of oil stains and other filth to achieve the purpose of cleaning.

However, it also has disadvantages. Bearings are mostly made of metal, and the strong oxidation of hydrogen peroxide may cause metal corrosion. Although it is exposed to hydrogen peroxide for a long time, or repeatedly cleaned with it, it is prone to corrosion marks on the metal surface, which damages the bearing accuracy and life.

Furthermore, the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide produces oxygen, which can cause pressure changes in a sealed bearing environment and affect the normal operation of the bearing.

Therefore, when cleaning bearings with hydrogen peroxide, care should be taken. If it is necessary to use it, its concentration and action time should be strictly controlled. And after cleaning, wash it with water to remove the residual hydrogen peroxide, so as to ensure that the bearing is not damaged and runs for a long time.

To sum up, whether or not to clean bearings with hydrogen peroxide requires weighing the pros and cons, and being cautious. You must not act rashly, causing damage to the bearings and causing major accidents.
