How to Install and Use Bearings Correctly?

Proper bearing installation and maintenance are critical for maximizing performance, durability, and efficiency in any mechanical system. Whether working with rolling bearings, deep groove ball bearings, spherical roller bearings, or thrust bearings, correct handling ensures stable operation and long service life.

• Apply force evenly; never strike bearings directly.

• For tight fits, use controlled heating (air furnace or oil bath) not exceeding 120°C.

• Bearings with nylon cages: stable operation from -40°C to 120°C.

• For 150°C, limit operation to 4 hours; 180°C short-term peaks are acceptable.

• Store in a clean, dry area, away from chemicals.

• Keep humidity ≤65% and avoid direct ground contact.

• Apply even pressure without hammering.

• For heavy interference fits, preheat to ≤120°C.

• Suitable for -40°C to 120°C continuous use.

• At 150°C, limit operation to 4 hours; short bursts up to 180°C.

• Store clean and dry (humidity ≤65%).

• For long-term storage, re-lubricate and repackage annually.

• Apply force evenly; never hammer.

• Heat gently below 100°C for tight fits.

• Reliable from -40°C to 120°C long-term; up to 150°C for 4 hours.

• Store in a clean, dry environment (humidity ≤65%).

• Confirm model, fit, and clearance before assembly.

• Heat to 90–100°C, align raceway and rollers accurately, and avoid brute force.

• Maintain effective dust sealing and consistent lubrication.

• Store in clean, dry areas; re-clean and oil if rust appears.

• Clean thoroughly and use high-quality lubricant.

• For tight fits, heat to 90–100°C before installation.

• Store in a dry, clean environment, humidity ≤65%, away from chemicals.

• Re-lubricate yearly and inspect dust seals regularly.

• Bearings are separable and easy to assemble.

• Clean with air or gasoline before installation; ensure proper lubrication.

• Press-fit components carefully; never strike with a hammer.

• Store in ventilated, dry spaces, and check periodically for rust.

• Clean and lubricate with high-quality grease or oil.

• For interference fits, heat to 90–100°C before installation.

• Store in clean, dry environments (humidity ≤65%).

• Re-lubricate yearly and inspect operating conditions regularly.
