AIREND BEARINGS, SEALS & WEAR-COMPONENT ENGINEERING
It requires exact bearing/seal specifications—type, internal clearance/preload, precision class, lubrication and seal material/design—to match the airend specification; requires investigation of contamination, lubricant, temperature, rotor load, alignment and previous assembly as drivers of repeated failure; requires controlled heating/pressing, axial location, torque, contamination control and shaft/housing condition during fitting; and requires rotation, endplay/preload where applicable, leakage, temperature and vibration to be verified through the approved rebuild process.
Its authoritative body remains separately preserved. Exact airend data and specialist review are mandatory.

152 — Bearing / Seal Disposition Matrix
Evidence state | Engineering question | Controlled disposition |
|---|---|---|
Correct part + serviceable mating surfaces | Can approved installation/verification be executed? | Install under controlled process |
Dimensions match but specification unknown | Is precision/class/preload/material correct? | Hold; do not substitute |
Bearing damaged | Why did it fail? | Preserve evidence + causal review before replacement |
Seal leaking | Is shaft/housing/pressure/temp cause present? | Correct cause + exact seal disposition |
Shaft seat damaged | Can approved repair/rework restore specification? | Specialist disposition |
Housing fit suspect | Is approved measurement/limit available? | Measure against exact source; no assumption |
Contamination present | Can cleanliness and causal source be controlled? | Clean/investigate before assembly |
Preload/endplay source unavailable | Can assembly be validated? | Hold precision acceptance |
Repeat bearing/seal failure | Was prior cause/process corrected? | |
Post-assembly temp/vibration abnormal | Assembly/load/geometry issue? | Stop/escalate; do not release |
155 — Fitting Method Affects Component Life
Heating/pressing, axial location, torque, contamination control and shaft/housing condition are explicitly identified as assembly-life factors.
156 — Mating Surfaces Are Part of the Component System
A new bearing or seal installed on a damaged shaft/housing can reproduce the failure.
158 — Technical / Bearing-Seal Verification Gate
Verify exact component specification, failure mechanism, mating surfaces, fitting/cleanliness and post-assembly evidence. No generic bearing number, preload/clearance or seal substitution is permitted.
160 — AEO / Engineering FAQ Layer
Answer why matching dimensions are insufficient, what bearing/seal data matter, why repeat failures need RCA, how fitting/cleanliness affect life and what must be verified after assembly.
