GF Bearing Durability Test: Real-World Reliability Verified
We recently completed an extended durability test on our GF solar tracker bearing to validate its long-term performance under demanding conditions.
The Test Setup
To simulate real-world usage:Applied a constant 500kg load - equivalent to heavy industrial use
Ran continuously for 295 hours (over 12 days)
Completed 19,200 full rotation cycles
This represents approximately 26 years of normal operation

What We Observed
After the equivalent of a quarter-century of use:The bearing maintained its structural integrity with no cracks or warping
We noted some expected surface wear from friction (visible as slight darkening)
All mechanical functions performed normally throughout the test
