Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Applying force to the wrong ring during press-fitting.Always apply force to the inner ring when mounting on the shaft and to the outer ring when mounting in the housing to prevent brinelling of the raceways.
Insufficient lubrication during installation or operation.Apply the recommended lubricant generously during installation and ensure a regular re-lubrication schedule is maintained according to operating conditions.

Common Applications

  • Conveyor systems
  • Electric motors
  • Pumps

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Do not expose to extreme temperatures beyond material specifications.
  • Ensure proper load distribution to prevent premature failure.
