Industry Insights: The Importance of Precision Installation

According to the Society of Tribologists and Lubrication Engineers (STLE), improper installation can reduce bearing life by up to 50%. By using a bearing race & seal driver set, you can achieve precise alignment and minimize the risk of premature failure.

Maximizing Efficiency: Tips and Tricks

Lubricate all components before installation to reduce friction and ensure smooth operation.

Use the appropriate driver size for each component to avoid damage.

Tap the driver firmly and evenly to avoid skewing or bending the bearing race or seal.

Inspect the components regularly after installation to ensure proper alignment and integrity.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Over-tightening the bearing race or seal, which can cause damage and reduce performance.

Using the wrong driver size, which can result in misalignment or component damage.

Installing components without lubrication, leading to increased friction and premature wear.
