bearing failure analysis reportAs this is under warranty, OEM says we are greasing the bearings as per schedule and no sign of failure recorded until the end user decided to replace the bearing for different reasons.

In this case timely grease analysis could have saved this bearing as vibration monitoring is not possible.
