Bearing mountingmethods

Clean the Shaft and Housing: Before mounting a bearing, clean the shaft and housing with a solvent and a clean cloth. Apply Lubricant: Apply a thin layer of lubricant to the shaft and housing, making sure that the lubricant is evenly distributed. Check Fit: Verify that the bearing and shaft/housing are the correct fit by measuring the inner and outer diameters of the bearing and the shaft/housing. Check the tolerance values against the specifications. Install Bearing: Position the bearing onto the shaft or in the housing, making sure it is seated properly. Do not hammer the bearing onto the shaft/housing. Apply Axial Load: Apply a small amount of axial load to the bearing to ensure it is properly seated. Secure Bearing: Secure the bearing by tightening the locking device or snap ring as per the manufacturer's instructions.

Prepare Tools: Before dismounting the bearing, ensure that you have the appropriate tools such as a puller or press. Remove Locking Device: Remove any locking devices such as snap rings, locking nuts, or set screws that hold the bearing in place. Apply Pulling Force: Apply a pulling force to remove the bearing. Use a puller that is appropriate for the bearing size and type. Inspect Bearing: Inspect the bearing for any signs of damage or wear. Check the raceway, rolling elements, and cage for signs of wear or deformation. Clean Shaft and Housing: Clean the shaft and housing with a solvent and a clean cloth. Install New Bearing: Install a new bearing following the steps for bearing mounting.
