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

What is the purpose of electric motor bearings?

  Electric motors are the unsung heroes behind countless industrial and household applications, driving everything from fans and pumps to electric vehicles. At the core of these powerful machines lie a crucial component - the   electric motor bearings . Often overlooked, these small yet mighty components play a pivotal role in ensuring the smooth and efficient operation of electric motors. Functionality of Electric Motor Bearings Electric motor bearings are responsible for supporting and facilitating the rotation of the motor's rotor. They act as a bridge between the stationary and moving parts of the motor, allowing for the seamless transfer of rotational energy. Bearings reduce friction, enabling motors to operate with minimal resistance and energy loss. Types of Bearings There are various types of bearings used in electric motors, each designed to meet specific requirements. The most common types include ball bearings,  roller bearings , and sleeve bearings. Ball beari...

What are the Benefits of Roller Bearings?

At their core,   roller bearings   are cylindrical-shaped components designed to reduce friction between moving parts. They achieve this by replacing sliding friction with rolling friction. This mechanism not only reduces wear and tear on components but also enhances the overall efficiency and longevity of mechanical systems. Benefits of Roller Bearings Reduced Friction: Roller bearings significantly decrease friction compared to plain bearings, leading to energy savings and lower heat generation. Enhanced Durability: The rolling motion reduces wear, extending the lifespan of components and reducing maintenance requirements. High Load Capacity:  Tapered Roller bearing  can handle heavy loads while maintaining their performance, making them suitable for various industrial applications. Precise Motion Control: These bearings offer precise control over motion, crucial in applications requiring accurate positioning and alignment. Versatility: With various types available...
