What should be noted when installing SKF bearings?

SKF imported bearings offer advantages such as higher rated load capacity, lower noise levels, significantly reduced warranty costs, and increased machine uptime. What should be noted when installing SKF imported bearings? Below, Shanghai SKF spherical outer ring bearing manufacturers provide a brief introduction:

 

Prior to installation, SKF imported bearings must be thoroughly cleaned with kerosene or petrol, dried with a clean cloth, and stored in a clean, dust-free location until use. Prior to installation, meticulously inspect the quality of the rings, shafts, and mating surfaces for contaminants or debris. Installation must be conducted in a clean, dry environment. Verify that the bearing has been pre-lubricated; select lubricants that are clean, free from impurities, and possess superior properties such as pressure resistance and rust prevention.

 

When installing SKF imported bearings, apply balanced force to the bearing rings and press them in slowly. Do not use tools such as hammers to forcefully strike the bearing, as this may cause damage. For installations involving multiple bearings, a hydraulic press may be employed.

 

For SKF imported bearings with substantial interference fits, installation may be facilitated by heating. Heating methods include oil bath heating or induction heating, with temperatures strictly adhering to specified requirements. Non-compliant temperatures may cause bearing damage. Following heating, bearings must be secured using nuts or alternative methods to prevent dislodgement or clearance formation due to thermal contraction.

 

“Do you see over yonder, dear client, those tricky equipment bottlenecks, those wear-and-tear troubles that stall your production? I intend to arm your machines with genuine imported bearings—and stand by with technical support to slay every glitch that comes your way.”
