Needle bearings with a very thin wall on its cup should be installed with a mandrel to avoid:

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

internal radial clearance is the:

Clearance between the rolling elements and the raceway when one ring is moved away from the other in a radial direction

Initial clearance is the clearance in a bearing:

before it is mounted

Residual clearance is the clearance in a bearing:

after is has been mounted

Running clearance is the clearance in a bearing:

When it is running and at temperature

Preload is the:

load the rolling elements are under before any external load is applied

Preload is normally a ____ load on the rolling elements

axial

Preload is set by using:

Spacers or shims

Preload is also affected by the: (2)

Shaft and housing fits

The three ISO classes of preload are: (3)

Lighter Normal Heavier

Are preload designations standardized?

Preload is applied when: (2)

- The operating load is too light to make the rolling elements roll properly - To reduce shaft deflection, make a stiffer assembly

What two things determine how much the initial clearance is reduced when installing a bearing? (2)

- tightness on shaft | - housing fit

The clearance in a spherical roller bearing is commonly checked with:

Feeler

Bearing clearance is set on a tapered bore bearing by forcing the bearing up the taper a predetermined distance. How can this distance be found?

Bearing tables

The two standard tapers for tapered bearing sleeves are: (2)

1:12(K) 1:30(K30)

The two methods for checking how far a bearing needs to be pushed up a taper is to use: (2)

- Tightening angle | - Dial indicator

With a tapered bore bearing, the 3 methods for setting the starting point from which the drive up is measured is to: (3)

- Seat firmly by hand - Check clearance with feeler - Use a pressure gauge and hydraulic nut

The tightening angle is useful for setting bearings that are:

Difficult to check with a feeler gauge

The tightening method isn't considered accurate because:

The starting point for drive up can vary

For spherical roller bearings, you need to calculate the tightening angle based on how far the nut advances in one turn. This is based on the knowledge that a _____" advance axially reduces the radial clearance by 0.001" for a 1:12 taper

0.015

A _____ can be set against the inner ring so you can watch the amount of drive up as you install the bearing

dial indicator

When using a dial indicator with the drive up method of setting clearance on a tapered sleeve, what method would you use for finding your start point?

- measure initial internal clearance, with feeler gauge, after bearing is resting loose on the sleeve - Begin driving the bearing up until you feel the feeler gauge pinched by the roller

The most accurate method for setting residual clearance is to use: (2)

Hydraulic pressure and dial indicator

The procedure for setting the starting point with hydraulic pressure is to:

pump hydraulic nut until starting pressure is indicated, zero dial, pump until dial indicator indicates proper axial drive up

When setting the internal clearance on a self aligning ball bearing, a rule of thumb is that the correct clearance is indicated by:

Slight drag when the outer ring is swiveled (for normal initial clearance only) Note: It takes only a little force to arrive at the proper tightness according to the tightening angle.

Non destructive removal methods are used so the bearing can be reused. In preparation for removal, you should:

Remove any deposits or burrs from the shaft

List the non destructive removal methods: (6)

- Cooling - Heating - Oil injection - Hydraulics - Arbor press - Drive

When cooling a shaft to remove a bearing, a _____ should be applied to the bearing to remove it before it begins to shrink with the shaft

steady pull

When using coolant, be cautious not to apply any to the part you are applying force to, because:

The coolant will make parts brittle

When heating a bearing, avoid the use of flame directly on the bearing. Why?

Could cause uneven heating and warping, as well as oxidization of rollers and raceways

This tool used to remove bearings is limited to cylindrical bearings with separable roller and cage assemblies

heating ring

Oil injection as a bearing removal method requires:

The shaft to be pre drilled

When removing a bearing with the oil injection method, the film of oil ensure what happens to the bearing and shaft during removal?

No abrasion damage

What is required when removing a bearing with the oil injection method on a cylindrical bearing and not a tapered bearing?

Pullers

What should you do when you remove a tapered bearing with the oil injection method?

Leave the retaining nut close to the bearing to ensure the bearing isn't ejected at high speed

The hydraulic methods of non-destructive removal of a bearing include: (3)

- Hydraulic nut - Hydraulic jack - Hydraulic Press

A hydraulic nut can be used to remove a bearing from a tapered removal sleeve, however, if the bearing has a cylindrical seat, a ____ or a ____ is required for hydraulic removal

Hydraulic press or hydraulic ram

What hydraulic method could you use to non-destructively remove a bearing that is still on a machine?

Pull it with a hydraulic jack

When pulling a bearing off a shaft with a hydraulic jack, if at all possible, use a _____ behind the bearing

Bearing splitter

When using a jack to remove a bearing from a shaft, if the end of the shaft is threaded, use _____ to protect it

a smooth soft piece of metal

When using a hydraulic ram to remove a bearing, be aware of these two dangers: (2)

- The bearing may explode under pressure - The tie rods connected to the strong back may spread and cause the ram to fly out Note: you can help prevent this by ensuring the ram is centered on the shaft, the base of the ram is square on the strong back, and that you have a drilled piece of flat bar holding the tie rods from spreading

The type of puller you use depends on: (2)

- The type of bearing | - How it is mounted

The most secure and effective puller is the:

Bearing splitter

When there is not enough room for a splitter, what kind of puller can be used instead?

2, 3 or 4 jaw puller

Pulling on the outer ring should not be done on larger bearings, but it can be done to bearings under ____ inches by rotating the bearing/jaws as you apply pressure to the puller

When using a puller, ensure you're protecting the shaft ____

center

Never pull on the outer ring of a self aligning ball bearing, it may:

Explode under tension

List the destructive bearing removal methods: (5)

- Grinder - Torch - Drive - Weld - Pullers

When cutting a bearing inner ring off with a grinder, what steps should you take?

Cut the inner ring, not quite to the shaft, in two places 180° from each other. Finish cutting with a blow from a hammer and chisel

When cutting a bearing off with a torch, be sure to not direct the heat towards the shaft. This can:

bent the shaft

Driving a bearing off with a hammer and chisel is not usually successful on a shaft diameter over:

2 inches

To remove an outer ring from a bore with a welder, what would you do?
