Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using excessive force during installation, leading to brinelling or damage to the raceways.Employ controlled pressure using a bearing press or appropriate tooling. Avoid hammering the bearing directly.
Contaminating the bearing during installation with dirt, dust, or improper lubricants.Ensure a clean working environment. Keep the bearing in its original packaging until immediately before installation. Use only approved lubricants.

Common Applications

  • Chemical Processing Equipment
  • Food and Beverage Machinery
  • Marine and Coastal Applications
  • Non-Magnetic Conveyor Systems

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Aluminum 6061 offers lower load capacity and hardness compared to steel bearings; ensure suitability for the application's load requirements.
  • Avoid exposure to extreme temperatures beyond the operational limits of Aluminum 6061 or the lubricant.
