Installation guide:

  1. Following the vehicle manufacturers recommended disassembly procedures; remove the axle, old seal and bearing.
  2. Use only a fine grade emery paper to clean the axle shaft between the flange and the worn area. This will be the new roller path and seal surface.
  3. Remove new bearing from its protective wrapping and dip it in clean differential oil. ...

Can I change only one wheel bearing?

If bearings go bad at one wheel, it is unnecessary to replace the bearings at the other wheel on the same axle.

Which grease is best for bearings?

Lithium based greases are very popular as bearing grease due to their water resistance and performance characteristics in both high and low temperatures. Greases comprised of synthetic lubricating fluids perform well in extreme low and high temperature ranges.

Can you oil sealed bearings?

If you are using a shielded bearing or an orange seal bearing you can apply the oil to the bearing with the seals/shields intact. If you are using a contact sealed bearing or grease you will need to remove the seals/shields to apply the lubrication.

What oil do you use for bearings?

In general, both mineral oils and synthetic oils can be used for ball bearing lubrication. Synthetic oils are mainly used for high temperature fluctuations in the working process.

Why do floor beams sag?

Floors sag because the load bearing posts supporting a house beam are failing and/or the footings holding those posts are undersized and sinking. Diagnose the problem by seeking the easiest solution first; go further only as needed.

What happens when you jack a house beam?

Before jacking the be am, release the connectors holding these lines and support them with lumber resting on the basement floor.

Can you use shoring posts to support a beam?

Only use shoring posts rated to carry your beam load. Rent whatever type exceeds the load specified by the structural engineer. As the hydraulic jack lifts the beam, turn the handle of the shoring post to keep the post head tight to the beam. Only use shoring posts to support a beam while work is underway.

Can you use hydraulic jacks to shoring a beam?

Only use shoring posts to support a beam while work is underway. Never use hydraulic jacks as shoring devices. Jacks may have defective internal seals that could leak hydraulic fluid and cause the jack to slip and drop the load. Raise the beam only until the post is released.

1. Electric motor bearing failure can wear out or damage shaft journals

Bearing Journal is the part of the shaft where the bearing is in contact or located.

2. Electric motor bearing failure can cause housing to wear out or damaged

Bearing housing is a part of the electric motor end shield that houses the bearing. It has a sliding fit or also called clearance fit which means the housing diameter is slightly bigger than the bearing outer race or OD of the bearing.

How bearing housings are repaired

Bearing housings are repaired by machining. This is done by installing a sleeve then by machining it down to the proper size. For example, you have an end shield that has a bearing size of 6209.

3. Bearing failure can cause the rotor to rub the stator causing damages

Bearings allow the rotor to spin inside the stator. Without the bearing that is not possible.

4. Motor with collapsed bearing makes it unrepairable

Neglect and inexistent motor maintenance result in bearing collapse. This happens when a portion or all of the bearing balls comes off from inside the bearing.

What are the problems with bearing lubrication?

1. Not Enough Bearing Lubrication. If there isn’t enough lubrication a direct metal-to-metal contact will occur and cause friction that produces destructive heat.

What happens if a bearing overheats?

If a bearing overheats, it could cause a catastrophic failure of the overall system. Make sure to also check the grease life. If the grease life is expired then the grease will start to break down, preventing it from creating that repeated oil film as the balls roll over it. 3. Your System is Too Hot or Too Cold.

What does preloading a bearing mean?

Preloading a bearing means applying an axial force (independent of the application force) against the raceway to prevent skidding. This can be done using bearing offsets or wave springs, among other methods. 7. Bearing Cage Damage. Bearing cage damage is usually the result of something else going on in the application.

Why does a ball bearing have a curved raceway?

A ball bearing has a curved raceway, so, the relative motion between the ball and the raceway will always produce skidding. For this reason, there needs to be a protected film of lubrication between the balls and raceway that prevents metal-on-metal skidding from occurring.

How to tell if a bearing is contaminated?

To identify bearing contamination, take a look at the raceways and see if you can spot an indentation or a crater. Hard contamination tends to leave sharp edges around the crater, and soft contamination tends to leave smoother edges. You may also see a “comet tail” on one side of the crater.

Why does my bearing overheat?

If a bearing overheats, it could cause a catastrophic failure of the overall system.

Why switch to ceramic ball bearings?

If overloading is from high rotational speeds, switch to ceramic balls because they have a lower ball weight. Also purchase a bearing with smaller balls, like our KH series of angular contact ball bearings. These options will decrease the centrifugal forces at high speeds. 6. Underloaded Bearings.
