Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Forcing the bearing during installation, leading to race distortion.Use a proper bearing press or induction heater for controlled installation, applying force only to the race being fitted.
Incorrect lubrication or lack thereof, causing premature wear.Apply the specified lubricant type and quantity for the operating conditions prior to and during installation.

Common Applications

  • Lightweight industrial machinery
  • Aerospace components
  • Automotive power transmission systems

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Aluminum 6061 is not suitable for extreme high-temperature applications or where high axial loads are present without proper design consideration.
  • Avoid exposure to highly corrosive chemicals that may degrade aluminum alloy over extended periods.
