Subject: Storing ball bearings not in use?
|
I just bought an assortment of different sized ball bearings for my
hubs and pedals. With 100 pieces for each size I suspect they will
last me several years, so now I wonder how to store them correctly so
they don't rust.
They came in small plastic bags folded and stapled together. It looks
like there is a very thin oil film on the bearings.
My first thought was to put them in zip-lock bags and pour some Finish
Line Cross Country wet lube into each bag, but is this good enough for
storing them for perhaps 3-5 years, or should I use grease, or
airtight containers, or is the supplied oil film good enough? How do
you store them?

.....Some oil into the bag..seal, they will be fine.

Actually bearing balls, ball bearings are assemblies of bearing balls, inner
and outer races, maybe seals and keepers.

Narrow olive jar with the plastic holder thing that pulls out. Cover
with your choice of oil. Make sure to label it so drunken Italians
don't try to make a puttanesca with them.

The bags are ok-tape shut.

Wal and H-D carry boxes that seal well with a sheet of plastic
material laid across the open box then top closed on it.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silica_gel
the idea is preventing moisture entry or condensation thru temperature
differentials.
The packaged oil is maybe all right but your oil may carry water! So
the elevation from the bottom- a sump- is a good idea.
The primo method for humid and uncontrolled climates could be linseed
oil in pill bottles with a sumped bottom: bottles then placed ikn an
Otter with desiccant.
Desiccant requires a closed and closed in a dry warm atmosphere
environment otherwise the desiccant will attract excess moisture.
if you develop a method for avoiding the magnetic field without extra
energy input please email.

but but but you make a pretty good case for ceramics! Solves the
water/rust issue as well as giving a complete miss to the magnetic
field.
It's still probably not a good idea to put dessicant in otters though.

Dude! Don't do that! Two words: "plasma embrittlement!"
Let's face it, ball bearings have a strictly limited shelf life. Isn't
there a local farmer's market in your area where some codger sells fresh
ones out of the back of his truck? Just pop by there a couple times a
week and you'll be fine.

No. Once you get below the earth's surface, gravity decreases
again. It's zero at the centre.

In an oil bath, or cosmoline if you can find some. As
you suspect, a coating of oil will not save you.
Actually in the oil bath, the metal parts should be
supported off of the very bottom, since water will
inevitably collect there.
