Angular contact bearings can withstand relatively complex load conditions and are widely used in engineering machinery and equipment, industrial robots, precision instruments and other fields.
In order to make angular contact ball bearings have better performance, they are generally installed in pairs, but sometimes they are not installed smoothly. What should we do?

How to deal with the problem of improper installation of paired angular contact bearings
1. Check the bearing installation direction
Angular contact bearings have different performances when installed in different directions. If the paired angular contact bearings are installed in the wrong direction, the bearings will not operate normally. You can adjust the installation direction according to the equipment requirements to avoid unnecessary problems.
2. Check the bearing cleanliness
The bearing installation area must be clean. Dirt or particles accidentally mixed in will affect the operation of the bearing. You can remove the bearing and thoroughly clean the bearing installation area. Pay attention to dust prevention when reinstalling.
3. Check the matching accuracy
Insufficient matching accuracy between the bearing seat and the spindle may also cause problems with the installation of the paired angular contact bearing. Use measuring tools to check the dimensions of the equipment spindle and bearing seat to ensure that they are within the tolerance range. If necessary, correct and replace the paired angular contact bearing with a suitable accuracy.
4. Is the preload force appropriate?
Appropriate preload should be applied to the paired bearings to ensure the normal operation of the bearings. If the preload is insufficient or too large, it is easy to cause uneven operation. It is recommended to refer to the manufacturer’s technical manual and use a torque wrench to adjust the preload to see if normal operation can be restored.
5. Check the lubrication problem
Insufficient lubrication and unsuitable lubricants will cause bearings to run unsmoothly. Check whether the type and amount of lubricant added are appropriate, use lubricating grease strictly in accordance with the standards, and do not add it randomly.
Matters Needing Attention in Installing Paired Angular Contact Bearings
1. Cleaning during installation is very important to prevent impurities and pollutants from damaging the bearing.
2. Check the condition and quantity of lubricant regularly before installation and during use. If the lubricant is insufficient, replenish and replace it in time.
3. Paired angular contact ball bearings can be installed back-to-back, face-to-face, or in series. Different forms have different performances. Be sure to follow operating specifications and safety regulations during installation to ensure personal safety and equipment safety.
4. If you encounter difficulties or unresolvable problems during the installation process, you can contact professional technicians or manufacturers for assistance and guidance in a timely manner.
