Taking the equipment maintenance work of a mine as an example,the roller bearings of the belt conveyor are prone to failure problems,resulting in large economic losses.For this reason,after completing the engineering overview of the operation of the belt conveyor,the common types of bearing failures and the factors affecting the failures are discussed,and the damage of the bearings after 6 months of operation is studied and categorised,and the performance and causes are recorded.Finally,it can be obtained that the main types of damage are plastic deformation in the form of clearance(42.3%)and corrosion and wear(30.7%),which is beneficial to provide experience for the equipment maintenance and overhauling work of the mining enterprises with the help of actual data and continuously reduce the maintenance cost.
