Bearing Replacement
The following instructions must be read in entirety before
attempting installation or removal. The procedures indicated
should be carefully followed. Failure to do so can result in
improper installation which could cause bearing performance
problems as well as serious personal injury.
Bearings in Bolt-on Housings (Units)
1. Check area - Clean and organize bearing installation
area and keep well lit. Be sure mounting surfaces are
clean and flat.
2. Check shaft - Shaft should be within tolerance range
shown in Table 26, clean, and free of nicks and burrs.
Mount bearing on unused section of shafting or repair/
replace shafting as required.
3. Install unit - Slide unit onto shaft. If it is difficult to
mount bearing on shaft, use a piece of emery cloth to
reduce any high spots on shaft. Do not hammer on any
component of the bearing.
4. Fasten unit in place - Install housing mounting bolts,
check and align bearing and tighten mounting bolts to
recommended fastener torques. Exercising extreme
caution and safety, rotate shaft slowly to center bearing.

Monitor Installed Bearing
After bearing has been run for several minutes, and again
after several hours, check bearing for excessive noise or
vibration. Shutdown machine and check housing temperature:
typical applications operate at 100°F - 105°F (38°C - 66°C).
Tighten all locking devices after 500 hours or 3 months,
whichever comes first.
