Repair and Refurbish Bearing Housings

Save time and Money, Repair those worn or oversized housing

By using our corrugated compression sleeves, specifically designed to assemble the outer ring of a ball bearing into a housing

1. Easy machining and quick assembly with generous tolerances (thousandths, not ten-thousandths)
2. Bearing runs cooler, and waves allow for thermal growth of the housing.
3. No expensive sleeves or messy glues.
4. Secure fit – on outer race rotation and no “walking” out of the housing.
5. Perfect fit that allows for 1/2 ° misalignment.
6. Rings for 37 common bearing sizes.

 

Motors, Pumps, Pulleys, Most any rotating device just check the easy directions for assembly and use the recommended housing bores listed.

Installation Instructions
1,2,3,4…A Perfect fit

1. Using the bearing part number; select the matching tolerance ring part number form the application chart. Note the bearing bore should allow fo ra minimum .080” (2mm) wall thickness remaining after machining steel housing or at the least .120” (3mm) for an aluminum zinc or magnesium housing.

  

2. Machine to the recommended housing bore size.

  

3. Insert the Tolerance Ring: Carefully squeeze the free ends together and place the tolerance ring into the bore. Care should be taken to ensure that the housing tolerance ring nests squarely in the housing bore. If there is no shoulder in the housing bore, it will be necessary to use a backing behind the tolerance ring to prevent it from sliding out of position when the bearing is inserted.
 

4. Press bearing into the Tolerance Ring and housing. Using an arbor press or air cylinder, apply uniform pressure only on the outer bearing race. Be sure the housing and pressing tool are securely fixed and held squarely to make sure that the bearing is inserted into the housing bore on center and perpendicular to the housing bore axis.
