Securing the bearing to the shaft
Different designs vary in how the inner ring is secured, the sealing arrangement, and the housing-interface construction. Selection depends on load direction, rotation regime, contamination conditions, and maintenance requirements.
What to determine before installation
- Shaft diameter.
- Method of securing the inner ring.
- Radial and axial load.
- Rotational speed.
- Direction of rotation.
- Contamination conditions.
- Sealing requirements.
- Re-lubrication and serviceability.
