Maintenance and handling of the bearing in the proper manner, it has a huge impact on its performance. It leads to longer bearing life, minimizes downtime and best productivity. These lead to savings in the cost of your business. Moreover, many devices depend on the bearings<\/a> to operate. For this reason, here are simple points for your bearing handled with the correct way to perform.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong>1. Bearing handle with the care<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Bearing is an accurate component. It should be handled and stored to stop the entry of contaminants. Stored it horizontally with the clean and dry environment, and should take care to prevent airborne pollutants. A spot of dirt in the raceway can be the reason for premature bearing failure. Do not apply the direct force on bearings and bushings or its outer ring. It can be the reason for the damaged and misaligned rolling elements. Bearings also not be installed if they have a little crack and scratches. Otherwise, the result can be poor performance and premature failure.<\/strong><\/p>\n

2. Correct mounting method<\/h3>\n

The mounting bearing method is the correct method, and it depends on the bearing type and kind of fit. Cylindrical type bearings are mounted through the press-fit process or shrink-fit. Bronze sleeve bearings<\/a> with narrow bores can be mounted on the tapered or cylindrical shaft with tapered sleeves’ help. Always remember that you should only apply pressure with pressure-fit. Apply pressure without the press-fit to the ring; it will damage raceways.<\/strong><\/p>\n

3. Prevent the heating and overheating<\/strong><\/h3>\n

It depends on the heating treatment of the bearing; the maximum temperature will change. If the temperatures are better than the heat limit, it can create permanent deformation or the soft bearing steel. When it happens, it will reduce the load-carrying capacity, and failure will occur. It is not a good idea to apply the heat using an open flame. If you are mounting using the shrink-fit method, use the induction heater to get the coveted effect.<\/strong><\/p>\n

4. Use the exact tools<\/strong><\/h3>\n

When you are using the common tools to handle the bearings, it can create unwanted damages and unnecessary repairing costs. Because they are not expert at handling delicate things like bearings and bushes suppliers. Instead, it uses the exact and proper tools to maintain their condition. Some examples of tools like:<\/strong><\/p>\n
