Alb Mod Anti friction B Flashcards
Proper preparation is essential to ensuring: (2)
- Efficient installation
- Damage-free installation
Regardless of the installation method you choose, what four things should be done? (4)
- Clean the machine and bearing assembly
- Inspect for damage. If damaged, why?
- Do a final cleanup of assembly area
- Organize tools and ensure they’re clean
A solvent bath for general use should be used for the initial cleanup, but for the final cleaning:
A clean bath of solvent should be used
While cleaning the machine, pay attention to the inside of the bearing housing. It is critical to the life of the bearing that ____ are flushed and wiped from the cavity
all abrasive particles
During cleanup on the shaft, it is critical that you keep _____ off the bearing seats, as you don’t want to alter the diameter
abrasives
During inspection of the housing, look for: (2)
- Cracks, nicks, burrs, corrosive damage that affects fit
- Grooves or marks from the outer ring spinning
If the bore of a housing is damaged, it must be:
Sleeved or discarded
When checking a shaft for damage, pay attention to: (3)
- Straightness
- Keyway and hub mounting surface
- Seal and bearing seats
When inspecting bearings, pay attention to:
Condition of rings (cracks, corrosion, discoloration or tracks from electric arching)
The area you assemble bearings/shafts/housings should be away from: (4)
- Grinding
- Welding
- Filing
- Machining
Although hot mounting can be accomplished on all sizes of bearings, it is most practical on bore sizes over:
20 mm
When cold mounting methods are not practical
When a bearing must be hot mounted on a shaft and installed in a housing at the same time, the housing must be:
Heated while the bearing is heated
The heating method you choose depends mainly on (2)
- Size of the bearing
- available equipment
Never heat a bearing above:
120°C or 250°F
Never heat a sealed bearing above:
80°C or 175°F
If you use an oil bath, what two things should you ensure? (2)
- Use new, clean, high temperature oil
- Do not place the bearing directly on the bottom of the oil bath
When mounting cylindrical bore bearings, ensure there is no gap between the bearing and the shoulder with:
0.0001” feeler
The process for hot mounting a bearing on a tapered sleeve is the same as for cold mounting, however:
No force is required to move the bearing up the taper
How would you ensure proper internal clearance when hot mounting a tapered bore bearing?
- When cold, firmly seat bearing on taper.
- Measure distance to shoulder
- Look up axial drive distance, subtract from distance to shoulder
- Mark position on shaft
When cold mounting, ensure the bearing ring with the clearance fit is the:
Bearing with the stationary load
You should cold mount bearings with bores ___” or less only
1.5”
You can cold mount a tapered bore bearing under 4” with a locknut. Over this size, you should use:
Hydraulic nut, or a nut equipped with jacking bolts
When mounting a bearing, always push on the:
Ring or rings being fitted
The most practical method for mounting a small cylindrical bore bearing is the:
Drive method
Needle bearings with a very thin wall on its cup should be installed with a mandrel to avoid:
crushing or distorting the bearing
A small cup can be installed with a press when convenient, however it may be more practical to use a:
Hammer and madnrel
To check if a cup has been installed properly, check that there is no gap between the cup and the shoulder with a:
0.0001” feeler
To prevent spinning or moving of the inner race, use a tapered adapter sleeve. When mounting a bearing on one, you are setting: (2)
- Internal clearance
- Axial position
Any sign of a groove or ridge on a tapered sleeve indicates a:
worn taper
On a tapered bore bearing, seat it upon the sleeve without the tab washer first. This is to:
prevent the tab from shearing off as it’s tightened
The tab on a tab washer that locks the nut receives virtually no force, it simply:
Prevents the nut from vibrating loose
The internal clearance on a bearing is the:
total clearance between the rolling elements and raceway, when one ring is pushed as far from the other as possible
When you use a dial indicator to check the distance one ring can be moved with respect to the other ring, you are doing what kind of check?
lift check.
This is only an approximate check
On roller bearings, the internal clearance can be measured with a _____ between the unloaded rolling element and the raceway
Feeler
Internal axial clearance is the:
Clearance between the rolling elements and race way when one ring is moved away from the other in an axial direction
