Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Applying force to the outer ring during shaft mounting.Always apply force to the inner ring when mounting the bearing onto the shaft to prevent brinelling of the raceways.
Contaminating the bearing during handling.Handle the bearing in a clean environment and keep its packaging sealed until installation to prevent ingress of dust and debris.

Common Applications

  • Lightweight electric motor drives
  • Automated machinery and robotics
  • Aerospace and drone propulsion systems

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Aluminum 6061 bearings have lower load ratings than comparable steel bearings; consult load charts for application suitability.
  • Avoid exposure to highly abrasive environments or extreme temperatures which can degrade aluminum performance.
