Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Forcing the bearing during installation, leading to brinelling or damage to the raceways.Use a proper bearing press or induction heater for controlled mounting, ensuring even force application.
Improper lubrication, resulting in premature wear or seizure.Apply the correct type and amount of lubricant as specified for the application and operating conditions.

Common Applications

  • Chemical processing equipment
  • Food and beverage machinery
  • Marine and offshore applications

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid exposing the bearing to extreme temperatures beyond its operational limits.
  • Do not use excessive force during installation or removal, as this can compromise bearing integrity.
