Hot mounting method — one of the major premature bearing failures is caused due to improper mounting, and there are three different ways to mount a bearing: the first is the hot mounting method, the second is the cold or mechanical mounting method, and the third is the oil or hydraulic mounting method.
Today, I am going to talk about the hot mounting method, the recommended and non-recommended techniques used to prevent premature bearing failures.
Hi, I am Murali Krishna, and I provide total maintenance solutions for electrical, civil, and mechanical systems in manufacturing industries. Let’s discuss the commonly used hot mounting methods for bearings.
The first one is direct heating by flame, which is totally not recommended.
The second is using an electric oven—this is also not recommended because it takes a lot of time and causes uneven heating of the bearing.
The third is the oil bath method, where bearings are heated using oil as the medium. This can be used, but it’s time-consuming, and not only the bearing but the entire oil and tank get heated, increasing the risk of fire. Also, the oil used should always be fresh, not used oil. Measuring the temperature accurately in this method is also tricky.
So, what is the right method for heating bearings?
The right method is induction heating principle.
The advantages of induction heating are that it’s fast, clean, and allows a wide range of bearings to be heated with one model. Not only bearings but also pulleys, couplings, spacers, and sleeves can be heated efficiently.
We have provided this induction heating solution to over 1,000 customers, helping them reduce premature bearing failures effectively.
