When installing or replacing bearings, it's essential to follow proper techniques to ensure the longevity and performance of the equipment. Here are some key tips that every technician should keep in mind: (1) Ensure that the force applied is aligned with the bearing axis. This means that the point of application should be symmetrical and stable. The force should be directed through the spherical surface or parallel to the axis to avoid unnecessary stress on the bearing components. (2) The force must be smooth and uniform, without any impact. Using hydraulic tools or devices that can provide consistent pressure is ideal. If manual methods are necessary, use a copper sleeve or soft material as a cushion instead of metal to prevent damage. Light tapping with a copper rod or hammer is acceptable when needed. (3) Avoid applying force directly through the rolling elements. When assembling or disassembling the inner ring (shaft ring), apply force through the inner ring itself. Similarly, when working with the outer ring, make sure the force is applied directly to it to prevent damage to the rolling elements. (4) Apply force only until the bearing reaches its correct position. When installing, stop once the bearing is properly seated, ensuring that the face of the raceway (or washer) makes contact with the shaft shoulder or the housing. Avoid over-tightening, as this can lead to premature wear and failure. By following these guidelines, you can significantly improve the efficiency and lifespan of your bearings. Proper installation and replacement are crucial steps in maintaining the performance of machinery and reducing downtime.
