Hot mounting for cylindrical seatings

As Bearings get larger, the possibility

of using cold mounting techniques for
bearings on cylindrical shafts
diminishes.
HOT mounting must be considered.
Heat can be used to expand the
bearing inner ring to enable it to be
placed on the seating.
When the bearing cools a tight fit
results.

 Hot Mounting - Some field experiences

Small Oil Bath - Note the cleanliness. Electric plate - direct voltage thru
bearing to enable heating -
dangerous, damages bearing

Alignment

Increased energy consumption due to

misaligned shafts:
Practical example:
•Motor - 10 kW
•Energy cost 1 kWh = € 0.10
•Cost of 1 motor 10 kW = € 8760/year
•5% energy increase due to misalignment:
+€ 438/year
•10 motors: +€4380/year (more than the TMEA 2 cost!)
