Make Sure You Properly Use Heaters When Installing Bearings

One of the reasons that bearing heaters are important for installing and dismounting bearings into rotating equipment is it will cut down on operating costs. The bearing heaters are designed to heat the bearings and virtually eliminate the pounding and hammering process that takes place with cold-mounted bearings. The heating of the bearings also de-magnetizes them, reducing any possible risk to the operator from torches, oil baths, and flames. Why...

Design and Characteristics of Ball and Roller Bearings

DOUBLE ROW SELF-ALIGNING BALL BEARINGS utilize an inner ring with two rows of balls, in two deep raceways; and an outer ring with a single spherical raceway.  In this way, the inner and outer rings can be misaligned relative to each other.  The resulting affect is a comparatively large angle imposing moment loads upon the balls. The boundary dimensions of the 1200 and 1300 series are the same as the 6200 and 6300 single row deep groove...
