How to remove bearing from shaft without puller

An oversized shaft or undersized housing will reduce the required internal clearance in the bearing. This clearance is necessary to make for free rotation of the rolling elements, lubrication film and the metal expansion that will occur because of thermal changes.

How to remove bearing from housing

An eight-point measuring method is recommended for both the shaft and housing. This involves four measurements at various locations to determine that the shaft and housing are not elliptical and the sides are parallel.

Installation is important as faulty mounting can lead to a decreased service life. This leads to unexpected costs and stop in production.

If you want to get the most out of your machinery, you must take into consideration the maximum service life of each component. With ball bearings being one of the most common parts used in most machines with moving parts, it's crucial to know what is the best way of mounting a radial ball or roller bearing.

Bearing Removal Tool

Fits that are too loose will cause the bearing to walk or creep, pulling metal, which inevitably ends up in the bearing.

How to remove bearing from shaft with puller

When using a hammer or even a torch to mount a ball bearing, you're risk causing a major machine failure that can lead to a serious safety hazard.

Hydraulic press will get the job done, but you must know how to operate one as the pressure of the tools can lead to serious injuries.

Before you start, you make sure the process has been properly delegated and explained among the team that will conduct the installation. It's crucial that everyone understands the reasons behind each step, so you can avoid the usage of shortcuts and make sure you're using the right set of tools.

To successfully mount and install a ball bearing you'll need to accept the fact that investing in education and time initially, will save you regular maintenance costs on the long haul.

Mount the arbor press to a working table and use the handle for leverage by applying pressure one step at the time. By doing this you'll lover the rack and unmount the bearing.
