Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Forcing the bearing onto a contaminated shaft or housing.Ensure all surfaces are impeccably clean and free of debris before attempting installation.
Using excessive or uneven force during press-fitting.Employ a proper bearing press or inductive heater, and apply force only to the ring that is being fitted (i.e., inner ring to shaft, outer ring to housing).

Common Applications

  • Heavy-duty industrial machinery
  • Automotive powertrains
  • Pumps and compressors

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Ensure compatibility of lubricant with brass material.
  • Avoid excessive shock loads or misalignment which can compromise bearing integrity.
