Preparations at the assembly work area

IBC high-precision rolling bearings for high-precision tool spindles are manufactured with the greatest care under the purest conditions, subjected to intensive checks and provided with high-quality packaging to prevent transport damage and contamination. To achieve the best possible running behaviour, care should also be taken to ensure a clean, dust-free working environment during assembly. The ingress of airborne dust or very fine chips would impair both the accuracy and the service life of the high-precision rolling bearings.

Grinding dust is particularly aggressive and must be kept away under all circumstances. Therefore, even if the assembly process is interrupted or if assembly is very time-consuming, it is recommended to cover the bearing area completely or partially with protective film. Contact with lint cloths must be avoided at all costs.

Furthermore, the high-precision rolling bearings must be stored in their original packaging and protected from moisture and aggressive media. Precision rolling bearings should generally not be kept and 

stored upright, but stored flat and supported around their entire circumference.

If high-precision rolling bearings are fitted using unsuitable or unclean tools and mounting aids, this will have a considerable effect on the function of the high-precision rolling bearings and reduce their performance and service life.

We explicitly point out that IBC accepts no liability for any resulting damage in the event of non-observance and non-compliance with the installation instructions. This also applies to incorrect interpretation or passing on of these instructions, as well as incorrect installation or maintenance.

Due to the large number of different installation options, it is unfortunately not possible to cover all variants. Especially as these are also very much dependent on the design of the adjacent components. The following information therefore refers to the fact that in most applications, the high-precision rolling bearing is first mounted on the shaft followed by the installation of the rolling bearing outer ring.
