2024-08-08

Our 10-point checklist for safe mounting work will help you avoid premature bearing failures in the future: 
1.Protect your workspace and the rolling bearing from dust, dirt, and moisture
2.Use drawings to familiarise yourself with the design.
3.Make sure that your bearing matches the specifications on the drawing.
4.Check the housing bore and the shaft seat for dimensional, shape and positional accuracy, as well as cleanliness.
5.Ensure that the mounting of the bearing rings on the shaft or in the housing bore cannot be impaired by edges. A slip angle of 10° to 15° is helpful.
6.Wipe off any corrosion protection on the seat and contact surfaces.
7.Apply a very thin layer of suitable mounting paste to the cylindrical seating surfaces of the bearing rings.
8.Do not cool the bearings. Condensation can lead to corrosion in the bearings and bearing seats.
9.After installation, apply a suitable lubricant to the rolling bearings.
10.Check the bearing to make sure it’s working properly.
