Installation Of Tapered Roller Bearings And Water Pump Shaft Bearings

First, the installation environment of the bearing: the installation of the bearing must be carried out in a dry and clean environment. Before installation, the machining quality of the mating surfaces of the shaft and the housing, the end faces of the shoulders, the grooves and the connecting surfaces should be carefully checked. All mating surfaces must be carefully cleaned and deburred, and unmachined surfaces of castings must be free of sand.

Secondly, the tapered roller bearing should be cleaned with gasoline or kerosene before installation, used after drying, and ensure good lubrication. The bearing is generally lubricated with grease, but also can be lubricated with oil. When using grease lubrication, the grease with excellent performance such as no impurities, anti-oxidation, anti-rust and extreme pressure should be used. The filling amount of grease is 30%-60% of the bearing and bearing housing volume, and should not be too much. The double row tapered roller bearing with sealed structure and the water pump shaft bearing have been filled with grease, which can be directly used by the user and cannot be cleaned again.

When installing a tapered roller bearing, an equal pressure must be applied to the circumference of the end face of the ferrule to press the ferrule in. Do not directly hit the end face of the bearing with tools such as a hammer to avoid damage to the bearing. In the case of a small amount of interference, the end face of the bearing ring can be pressed with a sleeve at room temperature, and the sleeve can be hit with a hammer head to press the ring evenly through the sleeve. If installed in large quantities, hydraulic presses can be used. When pressing in, it should be ensured that the end face of the outer ring and the end face of the shoulder of the shell, and the end face of the inner ring and the end face of the shaft shoulder are pressed tightly, and no gap is allowed.

When the interference is large, it can be installed by oil bath heating or inductor heating bearing method. At the same time, tighten the bearing with nuts or other suitable methods to prevent the bearing from shrinking in the width direction after cooling and causing a gap between the ring and the shaft shoulder.

After the single row tapered roller bearing is installed, the clearance should be adjusted. The clearance value should be determined according to different operating conditions and the size of the interference. When necessary, tests should be carried out to determine. The double-row tapered roller bearing and the water pump shaft bearing have been adjusted for clearance at the factory, and do not need to be adjusted during installation.

After the tapered roller bearing is installed, a rotation test should be carried out. First, it should be used for the rotating shaft or bearing box. If there is no abnormality, it will be operated with power without load and at low speed, and then gradually increase the rotation speed and load according to the operating conditions, and detect noise and vibration. And temperature rise, found abnormal, should stop running and check. It can be delivered for use only after the running test is normal.

Secondly, the disassembly of the bearing: When the bearing is to be used continuously after it is removed, an appropriate disassembly tool should be selected. When removing a ferrule with an interference fit, only the pulling force can be applied to the ferrule, and it is never allowed to transmit the removal force through the rolling elements, otherwise the rolling elements and the raceway will be crushed.

The use environment of tapered roller bearings: according to the use location and use conditions and environmental conditions, select the size and accuracy, and cooperate with the appropriate bearing is the premise to ensure the bearing life and feasibility.

A. Use parts: Tapered roller bearings are suitable for bearing combined radial and axial loads mainly based on radial loads. They are usually used in pairs with two sets of bearings. They are mainly used in the front and rear hubs of automobiles, driving bevel gears, differential Gearboxes, reducers and other transmission parts.

B. Allowable speed: in the environment of correct installation and good lubrication, the allowable speed is 0.3-0.5 times the limit speed of the bearing. Under normal circumstances, 0.2 times the limit speed is appropriate.

C. Permissible inclination angle: tapered roller bearings generally do not allow the shaft to be inclined relative to the housing hole.

D. Allowable temperature: Under normal load, the lubricant has high temperature resistance, and the lubrication is sufficient, the general bearing is allowed to work at an ambient temperature of -30℃-150℃.
