How to maintain and install eccentric IKO bearings?

1. Eccentric IKO bearing maintenance: in order to maintain the original performance of IKO bearing in a good state for as long as possible, it is necessary to maintain and 

overhaul it in order to prevent accidents in the future, ensure the reliability of operation, improve productivity and economy.Maintain the best operating standards for the 

appropriate mechanical operating conditions, regularly.  This includes monitoring operation status, replenishing or replacing lubricants, and periodic disassembly inspections.

As maintenance matters in operation, there are rotation sound, vibration, temperature, lubricant state and so on of eccentric IKO bearings.

2. Eccentric IKO bearing maintenance: CLEANING of IKO bearing: When removing eccentric IKO bearing maintenance, first record the appearance of eccentric IKO bearing, 

confirm the residual amount of lubricant, and wash eccentric IKO bearing after sampling and checking the lubricant.  As a cleaning agent, the general use of gasoline, 

kerosene.The cleaning of the removed eccentric IKO bearing is divided into coarse cleaning and fine cleaning. They are placed in the container respectively. The metal mesh 

bottom is put on first, so that the IKO bearing does not directly contact the dirt of the container.  When rough cleaning, if the IKO bearing rotates with dirt, it will damage 

the rolling surface of the IKO bearing, and attention should be paid to it.  In the crude cleaning oil, use the brush to remove grease, sticky matter, roughly clean, into fine 

washing.Fine washing is to rotate the eccentric IKO bearing in the cleaning oil while carefully cleaning.  In addition, cleaning oil should always be kept clean.  

3. Maintenance and judgment of eccentric IKO bearing: In order to judge whether the disassembled IKO bearing can be used, check it after the IKO bearing is cleaned.  

Check the state of the raceway surface, rolling surface and mating surface, the wear of the cage, the increase of IKO bearing clearance and the damage and abnormality 

unrelated to the decrease of dimensional accuracy.  Non-separation small ball IKO bearing, then use one hand to support the inner ring level, rotate the outer ring to 

confirm whether it is smooth.Separate IKO bearings such as tapered roller bearings can check the raceway surface of the rolling body and outer ring respectively.Because 

large IKO bearings can not be rotated by hand, pay attention to check the appearance of the rolling body, raceway surface, cage, edge surface and so on. The higher the 

importance of IKO bearings, the more carefully they must be checked.

4, the choice of eccentric IKO bearings: the market requirements of various mechanical devices and instruments using rolling IKO bearings are increasingly strict, and the 

conditions and performance required by IKO bearings are increasingly diversified.  In order to choose the most suitable IKO bearing from a large number of structures and 

sizes, it is necessary to study from various angles.  In the selection of IKO bearings, generally, the IKO bearing arrangement, installation and disassembly difficulty, the space 

allowed by IKO bearings, size and marketability of IKO bearings as shafting are considered, which roughly determines the IKO bearing structure.  Secondly, while comparing 

the design life of various machinery using IKO bearings and different durability limits of IKO bearings, while determining the size of IKO bearings.  When choosing IKO bearings, 

only the fatigue life of IKO bearings is often considered. The grease life, wear and noise caused by grease aging also need to be fully studied.  Furthermore, according to 

different uses, it is necessary to choose specially designed IKO bearings for accuracy, clearance, cage structure, grease and other requirements.  However, there is no certain 

order and rules for choosing IKO bearings. The priority should be given to the conditions, performance and most related matters required by IKO bearings, which are 

particularly practical.

5. The use of eccentric IKO bearing: rolling IKO bearing is a precision part, and its use must also be carried out appropriately.  No matter how high performance IKO bearings 

are used, if they are not used properly, they will not get the expected high performance.  Precautions for the use of IKO bearings are as follows.  

(1) Keep the eccentric IKO bearing and its surroundings clean.  

Even the small dust that can not be seen by the eyes will bring bad effects to IKO bearings.  Therefore, to keep the surrounding clean, so that the dust will not invade the IKO bearing.  

(2) Carefully use eccentric IKO bearings.  In use, give IKO bearing strong impact, will produce scars and indentation, become the cause of the accident.  In severe cases, 

there will be cracks and fractures, so care must be taken.  

(3) Use appropriate operating tools for eccentric IKO bearings.  

Avoid replacing existing tools with the right ones.  

(4) Pay attention to the corrosion of eccentric IKO bearing.  

When operating IKO bearings, sweat on hands will become the cause of rust.  Pay attention to use clean hands, it is best to wear gloves.5IKO bearing lubrication: the lubrication 

purpose of rolling IKO bearing is to reduce the internal friction and friction loss of IKO bearing, and prevent burning and sticking. The lubrication effect is as follows.

(1) Reduce the friction and friction loss of eccentric IKO bearing.In the mutual contact part of the ring, rolling body and retainer that constitute the IKO bearing, metal contact is prevented, and friction and wear are reduced.

(2), prolong the fatigue life.The rolling fatigue life of IKO bearing is prolonged when the rolling contact surface is well lubricated in rotation.  On the contrary, if the oil viscosity 

is low and the lubricating oil film thickness is bad, it will be shortened.

(3) Discharge friction heat and cooling.Circulating oil method can use oil to discharge the heat produced by friction, or from the external heat, cooling.  Prevent IKO bearing from overheating and lubricating oil from aging.

(4) Others  It also has the effect of preventing foreign bodies from invading the IKO bearing, or preventing rust and corrosion.  

Lubrication method:  

The lubrication method of IKO bearings is divided into grease lubrication and oil lubrication.  In order to make IKO bearings function well, first of all, the lubrication method suitable for the use conditions and purposes should be selected.  If only lubrication is considered, the lubricity of oil lubrication prevails.  However, grease lubrication has the advantage of simplifying the structure around IKO bearings. The advantages and disadvantages of grease lubrication and oil lubrication are compared.
