To confirm that the bearing has been mounted correctly, perform a rotation check.
- First, rotate the shaft or housing to see whether anything unusual can be detected.
- Next, engage the bearing without applying a load. After observing its rotational condition at low speed, slowly increase the rotational speed and load while checking for any rise in operational noise levels, vibrations and temperature.
- If anything unusual is detected during operation, stop the bearing and perform an inspection.
★ Checking for unusual noise or noise levels should be performed by someone familiar with the sound of properly mounted bearings operated under standard conditions.
