How to Ensure the Reliable Operation of Luoyang Bearings
From a user’s perspective, the following points should be noted to ensure reliable operation:
The clearance of Luoyang bearings must be appropriate. Excessive clearance may cause impact; too little clearance may lead to poor lubrication, potentially causing damage.
The surface quality and geometric accuracy of the bearing and shaft journal must be strictly ensured.
Improve lubrication quality by controlling the oil pressure, temperature, and flow, and enhance oil filtration.
Use qualified fuel and lubricating oil.
To fully utilize the function of Luoyang bearings and maintain their performance over the long term, regular maintenance and inspection are essential. Timely detection of potential issues through scheduled checks helps prevent failures, which is crucial for improving productivity and cost-effectiveness.
Proper Installation of Luoyang Bearings
Whether the Luoyang bearing is installed correctly affects its accuracy, service life, and performance. Therefore, the design and assembly departments should thoroughly study the installation procedures. It is recommended to follow standardized operating procedures. The general steps include:
Clean the bearings and related components.
Check the dimensions and surface finish of related parts.
Install the bearing.
Inspect the bearing after installation.
Apply lubrication.
Open the bearing package just before installation. For grease-lubricated bearings, grease is typically added directly without cleaning. For oil-lubricated bearings, cleaning is usually unnecessary. However, bearings used in instruments or at high speeds should be cleaned with clean oil to remove any rust-preventive coating. Bearings without such coatings are prone to rust and must be handled carefully. Bearings that are pre-filled with grease should be used as-is, without additional cleaning.
Installation Methods
The installation method of Luoyang bearings depends on the bearing structure, fit, and operating conditions. Generally, since the shaft rotates, the inner ring requires an interference fit. Cylindrical bearings are typically installed using a press-fit or hot-fit method. For tapered bores, the bearing is installed directly onto a tapered shaft or via a sleeve.
When mounting into a housing, the outer ring often uses a clearance fit or an interference fit. It is usually pressed in with a press, or shrink-fitted by cooling. When using dry ice as a coolant for shrink-fitting, moisture in the air may condense on the surface of the Luoyang bearing, so proper anti-rust measures must be taken.
