ing handling. Heat-resistant
industrial gloves
should be worn when handling hot
components. âž” fig ). They are equipped with in-tegral protection against overheating
and automatically demagnetize. The
induced current flow serves to rapidly
heat the bearing. The non-metallic com-
ponents, such as seals or PTFE fabric
remain cold as does the heater itself.To ease the mounting of large bear-ings, particularly if they have been
heated, it is possible to use
industrial slings and
a
industrial hoist. Metal or textile slings placed
around the outer ring can be used (

8 Rod ends are fitted on the pins in thesame way as spherical
plain bearings.
Slight heating will reduce the force
required for mounting and reduce the
danger of damaging associated com-
ponents.When attaching rod ends to thread-ed rods or in extension tubes ( ) a
industrial counter lock nut should be usedon the rod or on the external thread of
the rod end. It should be securely
tightened against the abutment sur-
face on the rod end or the tube.
