The Key to Applying Force When Assembling and Disassembling Bearings

---

When assembling or disassembling bearings, it's essential to pay close attention to the way force is applied. Proper technique ensures the longevity and performance of the bearing. Here are some key points to consider: (1) The force applied should pass through the axis of the bearing. This means the point of application must be symmetrical and stable. Apply the force through the spherical surface or parallel to the axis to avoid damaging the internal components. (2) The force should be applied gradually until the bearing is in the correct position. When mounting the bearing, stop once the inner or outer ring is properly seated against the shoulder of the shaft or housing. Avoid over-tightening, as this can cause unnecessary stress and reduce the bearing’s lifespan. (3) Never apply force directly through the rolling elements. Instead, when assembling or disassembling the inner ring (shaft ring), apply pressure to the inner ring itself. Similarly, when working with the outer ring, apply force to the outer ring only. (4) The force should be smooth and even, avoiding any sudden impacts. Use hydraulic tools or other devices that provide controlled pressure. If manual force is required, use a copper sleeve or soft material to cushion the impact. Avoid using metal tools directly on the bearing. A copper rod or hammer is ideal for light tapping. By following these guidelines, you can ensure safe and effective bearing assembly and disassembly, reducing the risk of damage and improving overall system performance.
