Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Applying excessive force to the outer ring when mounting onto the shaft.Always apply force to the ring being fitted. When mounting the bearing onto the shaft, apply force to the inner ring. When pressing the bearing into the housing, apply force to the outer ring.
Contaminating the bearing surfaces during installation.Handle the bearing with clean hands or tools and ensure the mounting environment is free from dust, dirt, or other contaminants.

Common Applications

  • Chemical processing equipment
  • Food and beverage machinery
