1. Įvadas

This manual provides essential information for the proper installation, operation, and maintenance of the Nice ER31 Double Sealed Ball Bearing. Understanding and following these guidelines will ensure optimal performance, longevity, and safe operation of the bearing in your application.

The Nice ER31 is a single-row radial ball bearing designed for applications requiring support for medium radial loads and operating at speeds up to 5000 RPM. It features an extended inner ring with set screws for improved shaft support and synthetic rubber seals with steel shields to protect against contaminants.

2. Saugos informacija

Always observe standard safety precautions when handling and installing bearings. Failure to do so may result in injury or damage to equipment.

• Dėvėkite tinkamas asmenines apsaugos priemones (AAP), įskaitant apsauginius akinius ir pirštines.
• Prieš montuodami ar atlikdami techninę priežiūrą, įsitikinkite, kad įrenginiai yra atjungti nuo elektros energijos ir užrakinti.
• Kad išvengtumėte užteršimo, su guoliais elkitės švariomis rankomis arba pirštinėmis.
• Do not apply excessive force during installation that could damage the bearing.
• Store bearings in a clean, dry environment to prevent corrosion and contamination.

5. Sąranka ir diegimas

Proper installation is crucial for the performance and lifespan of the bearing. Follow these general steps:

1. Paruošimas: Ensure the shaft and housing bore are clean, free of burrs, and within specified tolerances.
2. Montavimas:
   • For press-fit applications, apply even pressure to the inner ring face. Never strike the outer ring or seals.
   • For slip-fit applications, slide the bearing onto the shaft.
3. Securing (Extended Inner Ring): The ER31 features an extended inner ring with set screws. Once the bearing is positioned on the shaft, tighten the set screws evenly and securely to prevent rotation and axial movement. Refer to equipment-specific torque specifications if available.
4. Lygiavimas: Ensure proper alignment of the bearing with mating components to prevent premature wear and excessive loads.
5. Tepimas: The ER31 is pre-lubricated and double-sealed at the factory. No initial lubrication is required.

Note: For specific machinery, always consult the equipment manufacturer's installation manual.

6. Veikimo principai

The Nice ER31 ball bearing operates by utilizing rolling elements (balls) to maintain separation between moving parts, thereby reducing rotational friction and supporting radial loads. The internal design, including the nylon cage and precision-ground raceways, contributes to smooth, quiet operation and efficient power transmission.

The double seals are designed to retain the factory-applied lubricant and prevent the ingress of dust, dirt, and moisture, which are common contaminants in industrial environments. This sealing mechanism is crucial for maintaining the bearing's internal cleanliness and extending its operational life.

7. Priežiūra

The ER31 bearing is designed for low maintenance due to its double-sealed, pre-lubricated nature. However, periodic inspection is recommended.

• Patikra: Regularly inspect the bearing for signs of wear, damage, or unusual noise/vibration. Check the integrity of the seals.
• Valymas: Keep the external surfaces of the bearing and surrounding area clean to prevent contaminant buildup around the seals. Do not use high-pressure washers directly on the seals.
• Tepimas: As a sealed bearing, the ER31 typically does not require re-lubrication under normal operating conditions. If the seals are compromised or the bearing is subjected to extreme conditions, consult a bearing specialist for advice on re-lubrication.
• Pakeitimas: Replace the bearing if significant wear, damage, or excessive noise/vibration is detected.
