Step 16: Installing the new front bearing
You will need inductive heater (j) or special tools for front bearing installation (k) and new
bearing for this step. We recommend using bearing fitting tool kit TMFT 36 from SKF
manufacturer (
www.skf.com
).
The bearing has to be new, according to specifications.
The installation of the bearing can be done by using force or with
the preliminary heating of the bearing.
Use the appropriate tool or device for this purpose and follow
producer’s instructions for use. Only tools that bearings producers
recommend are suitable for this operation.
Force for bearing installation has to be applied on inner bearing ring
or inner and outer bearing ring at the same time. Force just on outer
bearing ring must not be applied.
The force for the bearing installation should act exactly in the
direction of the axis of the shaft. You must not use shocking force
for bearing installation, e.g. hitting the bearing with hammer.
In case of installation of the bearing with preliminary heating, the
heating temperature of the bearing should be 100 °C to 110 °C.
After heating, assemble the bearing on the bearing seat on the shaft
immediately. Otherwise the bearing will cool down and the bearing
assembly could not be possible. Pay attention not to strike the
bearing on the shaft e.g. by dropping it.
