Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Applying excessive force directly to the bearing rings during installation.Apply force to the ring being fitted (inner ring to shaft, outer ring to housing) using a press or appropriate installation tool. Never strike the bearing directly.
Contaminating the bearing during handling or installation.Keep the bearing in its original packaging until ready for installation. Handle with clean, lint-free gloves and ensure the installation environment is free of dust and moisture.

Common Applications

  • Automated machinery and robotics
  • Lightweight industrial gearboxes
  • Aerospace and drone components

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Aluminum 6061 bearings are susceptible to higher operating temperatures compared to steel bearings; consult operating temperature limits.
  • Avoid exposure to highly aggressive chemicals or abrasive environments that could degrade the aluminum alloy.
