What is the maximum speed allowed when moving a hot bearing?

The maximum speed allowed when moving a hot bearing is 4 mph. This guideline is in place to ensure safety and minimize the risk of further damage to the bearing and the equipment. A hot bearing indicates that it is overheating, which can lead to more serious mechanical failures if not addressed promptly. By restricting the speed to 4 mph, it allows for better control of the equipment and provides an opportunity to monitor the situation closely during transport. This speed limit helps in decreasing the friction generated by the bearing, thereby reducing the likelihood of catastrophic failure while enabling the team to take necessary actions to resolve the overheating issue.
