How to choose bearing installation tools

Improper installation and rough operation of bearings can cause premature failure of bearings. As the saying goes, "if you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools." With the help of installation tools, bearings can be installed with half the effort and reduce the risk of installation damage. So, what are the types of installation tools and what should be noted when choosing them? This article will provide a brief analysis for practical work reference.

The two priority considerations when choosing a bearing installation tool are:

1. Type selection: Different mechanical equipment requires different installation tools for bearings, and the matching installation tool should be selected according to the type of bearing. Therefore, it is necessary to confirm one's own bearing type, model, size, etc. first.

2. Product quality: Brand, price, and quality are several factors we consider when choosing products. A high-quality installation tool can provide you with a longer service life and effectively reduce the risk of installation damage.

General installation tools include impact rings, sockets, wrenches, etc. Specifically, there are complete sets of installation tools, double hook wrenches, articulated hook wrenches, socket wrenches, three arm pullers, internal pull puller components, hydraulic tools, etc. There are currently many installation kit toolboxes on the market, which can be combined with various installation kits in a reasonable way to quickly and accurately install bearings.

To consider whether it is a qualified installation tool, it is necessary to:

1. No oil stains on the surface

After the bearing installation tool is produced, another process needs to be carried out, which is rust prevention treatment. Different manufacturers use different anti rust treatment techniques. Good bearing installation tools have clean and smooth surfaces, and no excess oil stains; For surfaces covered in oil stains,

2. Uniform chamfering

Good quality installation tools have smooth and aesthetically pleasing chamfers without burrs, which can help reduce stress concentration and make assembly easier, serving multiple functions.

3. Carrying capacity

The load-bearing capacity of bearing installation tools is very important and closely related to equipment performance and operational efficiency. The size and installation method of the bearing itself also have a significant impact on the assembly of the bearing.

4. Assembly and disassembly process

The ease of assembly and disassembly of installation tools is crucial for the daily maintenance of bearings. Regular inspections are necessary to ensure the normal operation and excellent performance of bearings. A good set of tools can greatly reduce the workload and difficulty of maintenance personnel.
