How to Properly Heat Bearings for Installation | FODA BEARING
Why Heat Bearings? Heating expands the inner ring, allowing easy mounting onto shafts with interference fits. As the bearing cools, it contracts to form a secure, precision fit—no hammering required. Critical Rule Never exceed 120°C. Higher temperatures alter steel hardness, reduce precision, and shorten bearing life. Ideal range: 80-100°C. Heating Methods Method Process Best For Induction […]
