Angular contact ball bearing installation
1. Preparation
Cleanliness: Ensure the work area is clean and free of dirt, dust, and debris. Cleanliness is crucial to prevent contamination of the bearing.
Inspect the Bearings: Before installation, inspect the bearings for any damage or defects. Do not use bearings with visible damage.
Tools: Gather the necessary tools, including bearing installation tools, appropriate lubricants, and a torque wrench.
2. Handle Bearings Carefully
Do not remove the bearing from its packaging until you are ready to install it.
Handle the bearing with clean hands or gloves to avoid transferring dirt or grease to the bearing surfaces.
3. Proper Mounting
Fit: Ensure the bearing fits the shaft and housing properly. Never force the bearing onto the shaft or into the housing; use proper fitting tools if necessary.
Orientation: Pay attention to the bearing orientation. Angular contact bearings have specific contact angles, and it’s important to install them with the correct orientation.
Shaft and Housing Tolerances: Ensure that the shaft and housing tolerances match the specifications provided by the bearing manufacturer.
