Installation Procedure

1. Ensure the bearing seat and shaft are clean and free from debris. 2. Carefully press the bearing onto the shaft or into the housing, applying even pressure to the correct race (inner race for shaft mounting, outer race for housing mounting). 3. Verify smooth rotation and proper seating without excessive force.

Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Applying force to the wrong race during installation.Always apply installation force to the stationary race (inner race when mounting to a shaft, outer race when mounting to a housing) to avoid damaging the bearing's internal components.
Improper cleaning of mounting surfaces.Thoroughly clean both the shaft and housing bore to ensure a precise fit and prevent contamination, which can lead to premature wear.

Common Applications

  • Industrial Gearboxes
  • Robotic Arms
  • Automated Material Handling Systems

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Aluminum 6061 has lower load capacity compared to steel bearings; select based on application requirements.
  • Avoid exposing to extreme temperatures or highly aggressive chemicals that may degrade aluminum.
