Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Applying excessive force during mounting, leading to brinelling or cage damage.Use a proper bearing installer or press. Apply force evenly to the inner ring when mounting on the shaft, and to the outer ring when mounting in the housing.
Contamination during installation, introducing abrasive particles.Work in a clean environment. Keep bearing packaging sealed until immediately before installation. Clean shafts and housings thoroughly.

Common Applications

  • Automated manufacturing equipment
  • Conveyor systems in corrosive environments
  • Marine propulsion systems

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Aluminum 6061 bearings are not suitable for extremely high loads or shock loading due to material limitations.
  • Operating temperatures outside the specified range or inadequate lubrication can significantly reduce bearing lifespan and performance.
