The correct installation of self-aligning roller bearings affects accuracy, lifespan, and performance. Therefore, Noboxuan Bearing Co., Ltd. requires the design and assembly department to fully study the installation of self-aligning roller bearings. At the same time, it is necessary to install according to standard operating requirements in order to effectively extend the service life of self-aligning roller bearings. The specific requirements are as follows:

(1) Clean the self-aligning roller bearings and their related components;

(2) Check the dimensions and precision machining of related components;

(3) Installation;

(4) Inspection after installing the self-aligning roller bearing;

(5) Supply lubricant.

1. Alignment

After the installation of the self-aligning roller bearing, if the alignment is not carefully carried out, it may cause additional loads, friction, and vibration on the self-aligning roller bearing. These may accelerate fatigue and reduce the service life of self-aligning roller bearings, and may also damage the service life of other machine parts. In addition, the increased vibration and friction may greatly increase energy consumption and the risk of premature failure.

2. Basic condition monitoring

During use, it is necessary to regularly monitor the basic external conditions of the operation of self-aligning roller bearings, such as temperature, vibration, and noise measurements. These regular inspections will detect potential problems early and prevent unexpected machine interruptions, enabling production plans to be realized and improving factory productivity and efficiency.

3. Relubricate

During operation, the self-aligning roller bearing requires correct re lubrication to perfect its performance. The lubrication methods for self-aligning roller bearings are divided into grease lubrication and oil lubrication. In order to enable self-aligning roller bearings to function well, it is first necessary to choose a lubrication method that is suitable for the conditions and purpose of use. If only lubrication is considered, the lubricity of oil lubrication has an advantage. However, grease lubrication has the advantage of simplifying the surrounding structure of self-aligning roller bearings.

4. Remove

When the self-aligning roller bearing is about to reach its final service life, it should be replaced. Although self-aligning roller bearings can no longer be used, correctly removing the original self-aligning roller bearings and replacing them with new ones in a timely manner can greatly promote the extension of the service life of new self-aligning roller bearings. The appropriate methods, techniques, and tools for removing and adjusting the self-aligning roller bearings will help with the maintenance and repair of other machine self-aligning roller bearings.
