How to install spherical rod end bearing?

1. In places where a press is missing or unavailable, the spherical rod end bearing can be installed with an assembly sleeve and a small hammer. The hammering force should be evenly transmitted to the entire circumference of the end face of the spherical rod end bearing ring, so the end face of the assembly sleeve that is hammered should be spherical.

2. The force required to install the spherical rod end bearing is related to the size of the spherical rod end bearing and the size of the interference fit. For medium or large spherical rod end bearings with large interference, the method of shrinkage is commonly used. Put the spherical rod end bearing or the separable spherical plain bearing ring into the oil tank or special heater to heat evenly to 80-100℃ before hot-loading, and do not exceed 100℃.

3. Shrinking spherical rod end bearings requires skilled operation skills. When the spherical rod end bearing is removed from the heating oil tank or heater, immediately wipe off the oil stains and attachments on the bearing surface of the spherical rod end with a clean cloth (be careful not to use cotton yarn), and then place it in front of the mating surface, in one operation Push the spherical rod end bearing to where it hits the shaft shoulder. Always push tight during cooling, or tap the spherical plain bearing against the assembly sleeve with a small hammer. When installing the spherical rod end bearing, the spherical rod end bearing should be rotated slightly to avoid tipping or jamming of the installation.

4. When the outer ring of the spherical rod end and the shell hole are tightly fitted, the shell can also be heated and installed into the spherical plain bearing. In particular, the spherical rod end of the light metal material may damage the mating surface due to the pressing of the outer ring during the tight fitting process. In this case, the spherical rod end should be heated first.
