For Proper Handling of Rolling Bearings

1. Prcautions for Proper Handling of Rolling Bearings Rolling bearings are used under various operating conditions with a wide variety of light to heavy loads. Since they are manufactured to a high level of accuracy, they must be handled carefully and properly; the purpose for which they are used is just as important as careful handling. Incorrect mounting and improper handling are the most common causes of premature failure. Consequently, it is clear that proper handling, as well as appropriate selection and usage, are essential. Instructions for the proper handling of rolling bearings are...

2. Mounting 2.2 Press Fitting Force and Heating Temprature for Tight Fitting A When attaching the inner ring firmly to the shaft, the force to press-fit an inner ring in the axial direction varies depending on interference and shaft diameter. However, the required force rises as surface pressure on the fitted surface and friction coefficient increase. When a stronger press fitting force is required, the inner ring is usually expanded by heating in oil before mounting, but in some cases, the ring is press-fitted using a press or similar tool while measuring the degree of interference as...

2. Mounting 2.3 Fitting work The inner ring is usually mounted on a shaft by means of press fitting or shrink fitting. Press fitting, however, requires a large force. The required force for press fitting can be determined by the before mentioned equation (5). During press fitting work, brinelling indentations may be caused on the raceway surfaces by rolling elements (balls or rollers) if force is applied to the outer ring. Furthermore, direct shock applied to the small ribs of the inner ring may cause the ring to crack. At the same time, no force should be applied to the cage. Therefore,...

A Using this mechanism, NSK has devised a heating-type mounting/dismounting device that can be powered by an AC factory power supply with commercial frequency, and markets it for various industrial fields. Moreover, NSK has also made commercially available a bearing heater, as shown in Fig. 5, for heating a single unit, such as a small bearing. A bearing attached to a shaft cools rapidly, and after heating, an expanded bearing shrinks in a crosswise direction. In some cases, therefore, in order to avoid a clearance between the inner ring and shoulder, press the bearings firmly against the...

2. Mounting 2.4 Mounting Bearings with Tapered Bores Bearings with tapered bores are mounted in place using adapter sleeves or withdrawal sleeves, or directly on tapered shafts. The degree of fit is determined by reduction in clearance and push-in amount of the sleeves (or bearings). For spherical roller bearings, a decrease in clearance during mounting is usually measured by a clearance gauge. The reduction in the clearance and residual clearance after mounting are shown in Table 5. Spherical roller bearings with tapered bores have generally been manufactured taking into account the...
