Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Applying excessive force to the wrong ring during installation.Always apply pressing force to the ring that is being fitted to its mating part (inner ring to shaft, outer ring to housing).
Contaminating the bearing during handling or installation.Keep bearing surfaces clean and protected from dust, debris, and moisture during all stages of handling and installation.

Common Applications

  • Food processing equipment
  • Marine applications
  • Chemical processing machinery

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Verify lubricant compatibility with the operating environment and temperature range.
  • Ensure proper shaft and housing fits to prevent premature bearing failure due to brinelling or fretting corrosion.
