Rust particles worn off by the rolling elements have an abrasive effect and generate wear. Rust pits are the starting point for subsequent flaking. Rust forms not only when water, acids, etc, penetrate the bearing but is also promoted by acidic lubricants.

When you see your log splitter leaking hydraulic fluid, failed seals inside the log splitter's hydraulic cylinder cause hydraulic fluid leaks from around the wedge drive shaft. When this happens, the cylinder will eventually fail to build up enough hydraulic pressure to move the wedge because hydraulic fluid leaks past the shaft seals.

The raceways of correctly hardened rolling bearings occasionally show indentations regularly distributed over the entire circumference, corresponding approximately, in their shape to the Hertzian contact area. As a consequence, the bearing becomes noisy and uneven in operation.

Condensation is another cause for corrosion which can occur from sudden cooling of the bearing from the operating temperature in humid air environments.

The bearing service life of a rolling bearing rotating under load can fail due to material fatigue and wear at the running surfaces of rings and rolling elements. Statistically stressed bearings may be made unserviceable by plastic deformation of the contact surfaces. Premature bearing failures are attributed to other causes.

In practice diagnosing the primary cause of damage is not always easy because it is often obscured by consequential damage.

The log splitter's hydraulic cylinder pushes and pulls the splitting wedge to split the wood. If the hydraulic cylinder leaks hydraulic fluid from around the seals, the cylinder won't move. Replace the hydraulic cylinder if it won't move properly.

Examining failed bearings along with an understanding of the application parameters can lead to educated conclusions. In some cases, it may be only possible to ascertain that overheating and seizure took place. In bearings suffering lesser damage after removal conclusions can be drawn from the examination of the ball and roller pathways.

Replace the hydraulic cylinder when you see your log splitter leaking hydraulic fluid from the shaft seals. If replacement shaft seals are available for the hydraulic cylinder, replacing seals in the log splitter hydraulic cylinder will also prevent hydraulic fluid from leaking.

To list all known types and causes of bearing damage would go beyond the scope of this writing so only the most important will be discussed.

Ball indentations in the ring raceway. A rolling bearing subjected to excessive loading while stationary or performing small oscillating movements becomes unserviceable due to plastic deformation at the contact surfaces. The result of these indentations is that the balls received shock or impact loads or had excessive loads. In future operations, this bearing would rotate unevenly and would generally not be fit or further service.

The position of the loading zone of a bearing is determined by the direction of the externally applied forces and conditions of rotation.

Wear is a common cause of bearing failure. Wear occurs mainly due to dirt and foreign particles entering the bearing. Abrasive particles such as dust, sand, and grit roughen the contact surfaces. Severe wear considerably increases the bearing clearance and changes the raceway profile.

The loaded zone can be recognized even after a short running time by its dull appearance and indicated whether the bearing was loaded in an intended manner. In radial bearings, point load is indicated by a track shorter than half the raceway circumference. Radial bearings subjected to axial loads show tracking offset to the raceway center. The most frequent mounting fault excessive preloading can be recognized by the track formation.
