Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using excessive force during installation, leading to brinelling or damage.Utilize a proper bearing press or induction heater for controlled installation, applying force only to the ring being fitted.
Incorrect shaft or housing fit, causing premature wear or vibration.Adhere strictly to recommended shaft and housing tolerances for the specified bearing dimensions.

Common Applications

  • Industrial Gearboxes
  • Conveyor Systems
  • Electric Motors

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Not intended for extreme high-speed or high-temperature applications where traditional steel bearings excel.
  • Aluminum 6061 exhibits lower tensile strength than hardened steel; ensure application load ratings are met.
