Understand how Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) impacts bearing surfaces, failure progression, and machine reliability.

In this video, we explore how EMI affects rolling element bearings, including surface damage, pitting, fluting, lubrication breakdown, and early fatigue. You’ll learn how electrical discharge and electromagnetic fields can create microscopic damage that escalates into catastrophic machine failure if not detected early.

To help visualize these abstract concepts, some of the images used are intentionally illustrative or dramatic in nature. They are selected to emphasize electrical damage signatures and make the underlying failure mechanisms easier to understand—especially for new reliability engineers, maintenance technicians, and condition monitoring professionals.

What you’ll learn:

What EMI is and how it affects bearings

How electrical discharge causes pitting, frosting, and fluting

Early warning signs and detection cues

Common sources of EMI in motors, pumps, and rotating equipment

How to prevent EMI-induced bearing failure

Strategies for condition monitoring and predictive maintenance

Whether you work in industrial maintenance, precision manufacturing, power generation, automotive, water treatment, or plant reliability, this video will give you a clearer understanding of EMI as a root cause and its role in bearing life reduction.
