Overview of bearing mounting methods

 Roller Turn Rollor

 

Applications

This is a useful technique when driving small bearings with cylindrical bores onto shafts or into housings.

 

ii. Drive method

The thrust method is a hydraulic technique. Some of the important tools used in this technique are

Lock nut wrench

Hook wrenches

Hydraulic nuts and pumps

The hydraulic method is much more powerful compared to the mechanical method. If used improperly, hydraulic tools may remove radial clearance from bearings.

Applications

This is the preferred technique for driving medium to large bearings with tapered bores onto tapered seats. The method uses hydraulic tools.

 

III. Oil Injection Method

This oil forms a film between the two surfaces, thus reducing friction and making mounting easier. Note, however, that for this procedure, both the pipe and the recess should already be in place as part of the shaft design. If not, the grooves, feed channels and threaded connections must be machined into the shaft or sleeve before performing the oil filling.

Applications

This method also uses hydraulic tools to facilitate the mounting of medium and large size bearings with a tapered bore by a film of oil injected between the inner ring bore and its seat.

2. Thermal mounting

Hot mounting uses heat to expand the bearing, reducing the interference fit and allowing the bearing to slide easily onto its mating parts.

Let us look at the different methods of using heat to mount bearings.

Ise. Induction heater

Induction heaters are the most effective way to heat bearings for thermal mounting. The induction method requires the preparation of several tools.

Induction heater (of course!)

Heat-resistant gloves

Yoke

 

How does it work?

1. An electric current flows in the heater's coils, creating a magnetic field in the core.

2. This creates eddy currents in the bearings.

3. The bearing heats up due to the resistance of the bearing material to the eddy currents.

4. To eliminate the typical interference fit, the temperature difference between the bearing and the ambient temperature is approximately 90°C.

ii. Electric heating plates and heating cabinets

These devices are fairly easy to use. Before using the equipment to heat the bearing, set the preset temperature accordingly.

While ovens and hot plates can be used for batch heating of small bearings, they are usually inefficient and time consuming for heating larger bearings.

 

Overview of bearing mounting methods

The precise tools and procedures required to mount bearings vary by type, size, speed, application, and industry. Our team of experienced engineers are on hand to provide expert consultation and advice to help you install them properly to extend the efficient operation of your equipment.

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...
