Installation Procedure

1. Clean the bearing housing and shaft thoroughly to remove any debris or contaminants. 2. Apply a light coating of appropriate lubricant to the bearing's inner and outer raceways and the shaft. 3. Carefully press the bearing onto the shaft using a bearing press or a suitable sleeve, ensuring even pressure is applied to the inner ring. Alternatively, if press-fitting into the housing, use a sleeve to press the outer ring evenly.

Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Applying excessive force to the outer ring when pressing onto the shaft.Always apply force to the inner ring when mounting the bearing onto the shaft. Use a bearing press with an appropriate sleeve for even force distribution.
Insufficient or incorrect lubrication.Refer to the lubricant manufacturer's recommendations for the specific application and operating conditions. Ensure the lubricant is compatible with Aluminum 6061.

Common Applications

  • Lightweight robotic arm joints
  • Corrosion-resistant pump shafts
  • Automated assembly line components

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Aluminum 6061 has a lower hardness than steel; avoid applications with extreme shock loads or very high rotational speeds without proper load calculations.
  • Ensure compatibility with the surrounding environment to prevent galvanic corrosion if in contact with dissimilar metals.
