Category: Industry News | Publication Date: 2025-02-20

The installation process of crossed roller bearings requires careful operation to ensure that the bearings can function properly and have a long service life. The following are the detailed steps for installing crossed roller bearings:

Preparatory Work Before Installation

1. Inspect the bearing and its accessories: Ensure that the surfaces of the bearing and its accessories are clean, free from foreign matters and damage.

2. Check the dimensions and geometric shapes: Confirm that the dimensions and geometric shapes of the bearing and the bearing housing meet the requirements.

3. Prepare tools and lubricating oil: Have all the appropriate tools and an appropriate amount of lubricating oil ready.

 

 Installation Steps

1. Placing the Bearing:

  - Place the bearing on a clean, flat, and stable workbench.

  - Gently place the bearing rollers on the roller track, ensuring that they are evenly distributed.

2. Installing the Bearing:

  - Use special tools or clamping devices, and be careful to prevent excessive clamping force, so as not to cause damage to the bearing.

  - Ensure a tight fit between the bearing and the shaft, and a full and proper fit between the bearing and the housing.

3. Installing the Bearing Housing:

  - Apply an appropriate amount of lubricating oil to the surface in contact with the bearing housing.

  - Install the bearing housing in place, ensuring that it is aligned with the center of the bearing.

  - Use fixing tools or screws to secure the bearing sleeve to the base, and pay attention to the magnitude of the tightening force, which should neither be too loose nor too tight.

Adjustment and Inspection

1. Adjusting the Bearing Position: Make the clearance between the bearing and the bearing housing meet the specified requirements.

2. Checking the Rotation of the Bearing: Ensure that the bearing rotates freely without any jamming.

3. Lubrication: Lubricate the bearing with appropriate lubricant, and pay attention to the quality and usage method of the lubricating oil.

Final Steps

1. Installing Other Related Parts: Such as seals, cover plates, etc.

2. Adjustment and Inspection: Ensure that the bearing is installed accurately and firmly.

Precautions

- Throughout the installation process, keep the working environment clean to avoid dust and impurities from entering the bearing.

- Use appropriate tools and techniques to avoid damaging the bearing.

- If any problems are encountered during the installation process, consult a technician in a timely manner or refer to the manufacturer's installation instructions.


Through the above steps, you can correctly install the crossed roller bearing, ensuring that it can work properly and have a long service life during use.
