Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Applying excessive or uneven force during installation.Use a calibrated press with a proper bearing fitting tool or a controlled induction heater to ensure even heat distribution and controlled expansion.
Contaminating the bearing surfaces during handling or installation.Always handle bearings with clean, lint-free gloves and maintain a clean work environment. Avoid direct contact with bearing raceways and rolling elements.

Common Applications

  • Marine Equipment
  • Food Processing Machinery
