Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Applying excessive force during installation, leading to brinelling or cage damage.Use a bearing press with appropriate tooling and apply force only to the ring being mounted (inner ring for shaft mounting, outer ring for housing mounting).
Contaminating the bearing during handling or installation.Keep the bearing in its original packaging until immediately before installation and handle with clean, lint-free gloves or tools.

Common Applications

  • Electric Motors
  • Gearboxes
  • Industrial Pumps

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Ensure proper lubrication is applied before and during operation as per manufacturer recommendations.
  • Avoid exposing the bearing to extreme shock loads or continuous vibration, which can compromise performance and lifespan.
