Descriptions:
Mechanical mounting method, one of the major premature bearing failure causes happening due to mounting. There are three types of mounting. The first one is mechanical mounting or cold mounting, second is hot mounting, and the third one is oil mounting or hydraulic power mounting.
Now I am going to explain what the recommended practices and non-recommended practices for the mechanical mounting method are, to avoid premature bearing failures.
Hi, I am Murali Krishna. I provide total maintenance solutions for electrical, civil, and mechanical in manufacturing industries.
Generally, in the mechanical mounting method, people mount the bearings by directly hitting with a hammer, which is 100% not at all recommended. The second way they mount the bearing is using a pipe. When you use a pipe, you need to have different pipe sizes for different bearings, which is not practically possible in industries.
So, they end up using only one pipe to mount different types of bearings. This will create damage to the bearings.
If you ask me what is the best way to mount the bearings in the mechanical mounting method, I would strongly suggest using a bearing fitting tool.
The main advantages of the bearing fitting tool are: it can cover bearing sizes starting from 10 mm to 60 mm bore size. The second advantage is this tool is manufactured using toughened PTFE, thereby there won’t be any shock load or impact load transferring from the pipes to the bearings. Third, whether the bearing is mounted with a tight fit on the shaft or a tight fit on the housing, the pipe is designed in such a way that both the inner ring as well as the outer ring will be moved uniformly over the shaft.
This is one of the proven solutions widely used in many industries, and we have supplied this to more than 300 major customers in South India.
