Precision Installation and Disassembly Technical Guide for Tapered Roller Bearings
As critical components bearing combined radial and axial loads, the installation precision of tapered roller bearings directly impacts equipment service life. This document systematically analyzes core technical points for assembly/disassembly based on ISO 15242 standards.
?I. Installation Process Specifications?
?Preload Control?
Apply axial preload via torque wrench using formula ?F=0.5×C×d? (C: bearing coefficient, d: shaft diameter). For interference fits, oil bath heating to 80-100℃ is required (open flame heating prohibited) .?Alignment Calibration?
Ensure bearing housing and shaft centerline deviation ≤0.02mm/m using laser alignment tools. When tightening locknuts, alternate symmetrical tightening is mandatory .
?II. Professional Disassembly Procedures?
?Hydraulic Ejection Method?: Apply uniform oil pressure (≤50MPa) to outer ring, assisted by copper rod light tapping for vibration .
?Induction Heating Disassembly?: Control high-frequency heater temperature below 120℃ to avoid tempering effects .
?Special Tool Application?: Use three-jaw pullers with soft metal padding to prevent deformation at contact points .
?III. Critical Precautions?
Prohibit direct hammering on bearing raceways .
Post-disassembly cleaning with kerosene is essential, including inspection for raceway spalling and cage wear .
Storage environment humidity must be <60%, vacuum packaging recommended for rust prevention .
?IV. Maintenance Recommendations?
Regularly monitor bearing temperature rise (normal ≤65℃) and abnormal noises. Lithium-based grease replenishment every 2,000 hours is advised (30%-40% cavity volume filling)
