Methods of bearing mounting

In this article, we will focus on the mounting of bearings and learn about the different methods of mounting bearings

What is mounting?

Mounting is the installation of a ball bearing into a shaft and housing.

Did you know?  About 16% of all premature bearing failures are caused by a damaged fit. This is usually because maintenance technicians are not trained in the correct method or are unable to use the correct tools. Mounting methods can significantly affect bearing performance. Therefore, the process needs to be applied carefully to ensure they perform to their maximum potential.

Mounting Methods

1. Cold mounting

Machine's

Drive method

Oil injection method

2. Thermal inlay

Induction heater

Heating cabinets and electric heating plates

 

Before we delve into the bearing mounting process, it is important to understand a few basic terms.

interference fit: a fit in which the minimum diameter of the shaft should always be larger than the maximum size of the hole.

Bearing internal clearance: (radial and axial internal clearance) the distance that one bearing collar can move relative to another.

 

Before mounting

We recommend that you do some preparatory work before you start the mounting process. Here are the 2 steps you need to perform to make your job easier.

1. Before installation

Check the size and shape accuracy of the relevant components

Record the values in the report

2. Prepare the relevant components

Assemble all components needed for the installation

For a tight fit, apply a thin layer of light oil to the seat

For a loose fit, apply an anti-micro-movement agent to the bearing seats

Everything you should know about roller bearings

Roller bearings are crucial components in various machinery and equipment, serving the purpose of reducing friction and facilitating smooth rotational motion. This article addresses 10 common questions related to roller bearings, offering insightful answers to help you better understand their functionality and applications. 1. What Are Roller Bearings? Roller bearings are mechanical components designed to support radial and axial loads while allowing for smooth, low-friction rotation. They consist of cylindrical or  tapered roller bearings  arranged in a cage, which helps distribute the load evenly and reduce friction. Roller bearings are widely used in industries such as automotive, manufacturing, and aerospace due to their efficiency and durability. 2. How Do Roller Bearings Work? Roller bearings work by distributing the load over the rolling elements (rollers) rather than the entire surface, which reduces friction. When a load is applied, the rollers roll smoothly, minimizi...

Advantages of Deep Groove Ball Bearings

  In the vast world of bearings,   deep groove ball bearings   stand out as versatile and indispensable components in various mechanical applications. These bearings, characterized by their deep raceway grooves, have earned their popularity for good reason. Let's explore the compelling reasons why deep groove ball bearings are a preferred choice in diverse industries. Versatility in Applications One of the primary advantages of deep groove ball bearings is their versatility. These bearings are suitable for a wide range of applications, from electric motors and automotive components to industrial machinery. Their ability to accommodate both radial and axial loads makes them highly adaptable in diverse operating conditions. Efficient Radial Load Support Deep groove ball bearings are specifically designed to handle radial loads effectively. The deep raceway grooves distribute the load evenly, providing optimal support for applications with primarily radial forces. This chara...

How to Extend the Service Life of the Automobile Bearings?

As a  automobile bearings supplier , I'd like to share it with you. Bearings play a important role in the free and unrestricted movement of mechanical parts or components. Bearings bear the weight of the load and make things move without any or with much less friction. In a world without bearings, mechanically moving parts will malfunction and stick, preventing smooth operation. The life of a bearing is affected by the type of bearing, the load they carry, and good maintenance. If properly maintained, bearing life can be extended.   How to Use and Maintain Automobile Bearings Appropriate?   Tapered Roller Bearing   1. The vehicle should work within the rated load range. If the vehicle is seriously overloaded, it will directly cause the bearing to overload, which will cause the bearing to fail early, and more seriously, it will cause vehicle failure and personal safety accidents; 2. It is forbidden for the bearing to be subjected to abnormal impact load; 3. Regul...
