Schaeffler publish new technical guide
The correct mounting and dismounting of rolling element bearings can save time and dramatically increase the life of bearings, as well as maximizing the availability of critical plant and machinery by avoiding costly breakdowns.
The key is to ensure that the appropriate tools and equipment for the mounting and dismounting of rolling bearings are on hand for the engineer at the installation or assembly stage.
In order to help plant, maintenance and service engineers, Schaeffler UK have published a new technical guide entitled ‘Mounting and Dismounting of Rolling Bearings’. This handy, pocket-sized guide includes useful guidance and instructions on how to store, handle, clean, mount, dismount, lubricate and maintain rolling bearings.
The guide also includes a special section that discusses the possible typical causes of bearing damage and failure. There is also a section that contains tabular information on bearing part numbers, bearing tolerances and their mating components, bearing clearance and FAG rolling bearing greases.
Schaeffler UK also offer a range of tailor-made, modular training courses on bearing mounting and dismounting, lubrication, alignment, condition monitoring and maintenance management. Training can be carried out at Schaeffler’s UK-based headquarters in Sutton Coldfield, or at customer’s own premises.
Bearing mounting and dismounting courses include training modules on rolling bearings, mounting tools, failure recognition and more specific courses such as tapered roller bearing maintenance for rail vehicles.
