Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Applying force to the outer ring when pressing onto the shaft.Always apply installation force to the ring that is being fitted. For shaft mounting, press on the inner ring; for housing mounting, press on the outer ring.
Overheating the bearing during press-fitting.Avoid excessive heat. If heating is necessary, use an induction heater or an oil bath at a controlled temperature (typically below 120°C or 250°F) to prevent material degradation.

Common Applications

  • Food and Beverage Processing Equipment
  • Chemical Processing Machinery
  • Marine and Offshore Equipment
  • Conveyor Systems in Corrosive Environments

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Ensure proper lubrication for optimal performance and lifespan.
