Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Applying impact force directly to the bearing races or cage during installation.Apply force evenly to the ring that is being pressed onto the shaft or into the housing.
Installing a dirty or contaminated bearing, leading to premature wear.Keep the bearing in its original packaging until ready for installation and ensure all mating surfaces are clean.

Common Applications

  • Conveyor Systems
  • Pumps and Compressors
  • Food Processing Machinery

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Do not expose to extreme temperatures beyond specified operational limits.
  • Ensure proper lubrication is maintained according to manufacturer guidelines to prevent premature wear and failure.
