Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using excessive force during installation, leading to brinelling or damage to races.Employ a proper bearing press or induction heater for controlled installation. Ensure the force is applied to the correct race.
Improper lubrication, resulting in premature wear and overheating.Consult the bearing manufacturer's specifications for the correct type and amount of lubricant. Re-lubricate at recommended intervals.
