Action
1. To avoid contamination, let a new bearing remain in its wrapping
until it is time for fitting.
2. Ensure that all parts included in the bearing fitting are free from
burrs, grinding waste and other contamination. Cast components
must be free from foundry sand.
3. Bearing rings, inner rings and roller elements must under no cir-
cumstances be subjected to direct impact. Furthermore, the roller
elements must not be exposed to any stresses during the assembly
work.
Action
1. Tension the bearing gradually until the recommended pre-tension
is achieved.
NOTE!
The roller elements must be rotated at a specified number of turns
before pre-tensioning is carried out and also rotated during the pre-
tensioning sequence.
2. Make sure the bearing is properly aligned, as this will directly affect
the lifespan of the bearing.
