Bearing Selection

You need to buy a bearing, you know the type and size of the bearing, however, is the number of brands puzzling? It is not surprising, because the bearings of the same building look the same, and they perform the same functions, but, faced with a variety of bearing manufacturers, it is easy to get confused.

In this case, you have to trust, and to whom exactly - the choice is yours.

One of the most common options is to rely on the advice of a seasoned person. Evaluation of experience also falls on your shoulders. The focus is on the ability to successfully use the technique with mechanisms in the form of bearings, as well as to care for it.

Prompt is the direct responsibility of the sales assistant, but it is worth remembering that it is easy to confuse an inexperienced buyer. For example, confusion is created by facts such as availability of factories in Asia with some European firms, and the bearing indicates the European country of origin. Definitely judge the quality of the bearing on this criterion is not worth it, but the buyer has the right to receive full information. We are firmly convinced of this, so we guarantee to receive a comprehensive consultation from our managers.

Or you can try to deal with the brands yourself, focusing on the reputation of the manufacturer of bearings. Perhaps the market has managed to assess the quality of a certain brand of bearings before you.

Unfortunately, by eye or even holding it in your hands, you will not be able to assess whether the bearing is of high quality. There is always a chance to purchase a defective product, which was produced at the factory without certification from unscrupulous suppliers.

If you wish, you can give the bearing for examination, but this will not help you in solving the problem that has arisen, and will spend your time and money.

Bearings come in a wide variety of configurations.

All that is in your power is to check the condition of the metal surface, which should be uniformly treated and clean. Also check for irregularities, exclude the presence of cracks or chipping. Compare the designation on the bearing housing and on the box. They should be well-printed, easy to read, symbols should not be vague. Remember that on foreign bearings on the body there is often an abbreviated marking, but you can see the full one on the package itself. The brand name of the bearing must be exactly the same. It is very important to be able to correctly determine marking roller tapered bearings of inch sizes.

Self-respecting foreign manufacturer makes high-quality and reliable packaging, for industrial bearings and bearings produced in CIS countries, its absence is allowed.

Not uncommon when the decision to buy depends on the price of the bearing. It should be noted that the quality bearing has a longer life, and is also more reliable than its cheap counterparts. Proceed from the cost of damage when the bearing fails. It is worth being responsible if the safety of people depends on the health of the whole mechanism, as is often the case in large industries. Of course, you can afford a lower price category if you install the bearing, for example, in a washing machine at the cottage. But in the event of a washing machine breakdown, you will have to spend time again searching for and buying a new bearing, why pay twice? It is much nicer and more economical to immediately buy a quality bearing.

Buying a bearing is only a foundation for streamlined work, in many respects it plays the role of competently fitting it into a mechanism, ideally produced by a specialist. Good bearing grease - no less important component of this tandem, which is also not worth saving.

It is also worth remembering: in almost all cases of replacing an end-of-life bearing with a new one, it is necessary to purchase a bearing of the same design, the same accuracy class and thermal gap, with the same separator material as the original bearing. If you regularly come across bearing replacement due to the nature of your business, then only one thing will save you from acquiring fakes and defects: trusting an already proven supplier of bearing products
