Proper Bearing Installation for Slurry Pumps

During slurry pump assembly, it is essential to uniformly heat the bearing to 80–100°C before mounting it onto the shaft. This thermal expansion allows the bearing to slide smoothly into position and ensures a tight fit.

After heating, the bearing should be installed quickly and accurately to prevent cooling. If the inner ring cools before proper positioning, it may fail to seat tightly against the shaft shoulder, leading to misalignment, premature wear, or reduced service life.

This installation method:

Guarantees a precise mechanical fit

Minimizes the risk of bearing damage

Enhances pump performance and longevity

Correct bearing handling is a vital step in ensuring the durability and efficiency of slurry pumps operating under harsh industrial conditions.
