Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Applying excessive force to the wrong bearing ring during installation.Always apply installation force to the ring (inner or outer) that is being pressed onto its mating surface. For shaft mounting, press the inner ring; for housing mounting, press the outer ring.
Contaminating the bearing during handling or installation.Handle bearings in a clean environment and avoid direct contact with dirty surfaces or tools. Keep the bearing in its packaging until ready for installation.
