▊Installation
A precise, centric positioning of the spherical bearingis the basic precondition for perfect installation. Accordingly, the housing bores and shaft ends should be chamfered 10° to 20° in axial direction.

For the installation of spherical bearings with cover (pressfit), an installation sleeve or tube used with a hydraulic press as the mounting force transducer provides the best guarantee for the perfect fit of the spherical bearings. Impact damage, for example caused by installing the bearing with hammer and mandrel, must be avoided in any case. Damage of the precision bearing parts can lead to serious malfunctions. Installing a spherical bearing into a housing should be done via the outer ring.

Spherical bearing installation on a shaft or a bolt should be done via the inner ring.
