Bearing replacement
Ordering the correct replacement bearing is a critical task - but it is not difficult if you take time to gather the right information. Please follow these steps:
| First - IDENTIFY the type of bearing you need to replace. |
|
Ball Bearing - Deep groove ball bearing Roller Bearing - Tapered roller bearing Split Pillow Block - Pillow Blocks |
| Second - LOCATE the identification number on the bearing. |
| Bearing identification numbers are usually located on the inner ring face, outer ring face, bearing O.D. or seals. Mounted units are identified by a number tag fastened to the unit or by a housing number cast into the housing cap. |
| Third - MEASURE if you need to. |
|
If a bearing identification number is not legible, you will need to determine the following: 1. Inner ring bore (inside diameter) 2. Outer ring outside diameter 3. Inner width and outer width (these may be different) 4. Shape of the bore and/or outside diameter of bearing |
| Fourth - RECORD additional relevant information. |
|
The more information available, the easier it will be to identify the replacement bearing needed. Record: 1. Unique features such as machined shoulders, etc. 2. Application/equipment data |
| Fifth - LOOK in the appropriate section of the catalog. |
|
1. Ball bearings 2. Tapered roller bearings 3. Engineering information, for all bearing types |
Notes: If you are still unable to identify the bearing you need, call your HCH distribution center.
