What type of bearing failure are you having? Is the roller cage breaking? Are the rollers or races spalling or pitting?

Inner or Outer bearing?

Same brand bearings, or different?
The reason I ask is because I work for a bearing mfgr. And if the parts store you're buying the (assumed) same brand bearing from that keeps failing could be as simple as the mfgr had some known or unknown equipment or material failure issues on that particular run of bearings. Now the parts store is selling you sequential failures without knowing anything was wrong. I've seen it happen!

But, if you're using different brands that probably aint the case. Get back to us with more info and maybe we can help you out.

Good luck.
