Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Applying excessive force during press-fitting, leading to brinelling or deformation.Use a proper bearing installer or hydraulic press, ensuring force is applied to the correct ring (inner for shaft, outer for housing).
Improper lubrication leading to premature wear.Apply the correct type and amount of lubricant as specified for the application and operating conditions before initial startup.

Common Applications

  • Electric Motors
  • Gearboxes
  • Conveyor Systems

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid exposing the bearing to excessive moisture or corrosive environments without adequate protection.
  • Ensure proper alignment during installation to prevent premature failure due to uneven loading.
