Tips for disassembling the outer spherical bearing

   The outer spherical bearing is a self-aligning bearing with a spherical surface on the outer surface of the bearing outer ring and a sealing cover on both sides of the bearing. 390000 series outer spherical bearings are commonly used in agricultural machinery. These bearings are widely used in Xinjiang 1, 2, Futian, Zhongyuan and other combine harvesters, and more than 30 disks are used on one locomotive. The 390000 series outer spherical bearing is used to fix the inner ring of the bearing and the shaft through an eccentric sleeve, and the hexagon socket screw on the eccentric sleeve is used for fastening. In the maintenance, many operators will not disassemble such bearings, so it is necessary to introduce the technical points and precautions for disassembling the 390000 series spherical bearings:
    First, disassembly

    1. First loosen the locking screw on the eccentric sleeve of the bearing with an Allen key, then insert the small iron rod into the counterbore on the eccentric sleeve of the top cover and loosen the eccentric sleeve against the direction of rotation of the shaft.

    2. Loosen the bolts that secure the housing. Remove the bearing from the shaft together with the housing. Note before the housing on one end of the shaft is removed. The bearing bolts at the other end of the shaft should be loosened to prevent the bearings at both ends from being damaged by each other.

    Second, the installation

    1. Before installing the bearing on the shaft, the bearing pin of the bearing sleeve must be unplugged, and the surface of the journal should be smoothed and cleaned, and the oil should be rust-proof and lubricated at the journal (allowing the bearing to rotate slightly on the shaft).

    2. Apply lubricant to the bearing seat and bearing mating surface, and install the bearing into the bearing housing. Then the assembled bearing is placed on the shaft together with the bearing housing. Push to the desired location for installation.

    3. The bolts of the fixed bearing housing should not be tightened first, so that the bearing housing can rotate in the bearing housing. Also install the other end bearing and seat on the same shaft, turn the shaft a few turns, and let the bearing itself automatically find the position. Then tighten the bearing block bolts.

    4. Install the eccentric sleeve. First, eccentric sleeve is placed on the eccentric step of the inner sleeve of the bearing, and the shaft is tightened by hand in the direction of rotation. Then insert or hold the small iron rod against the counterbore on the eccentric sleeve. 1. Use the hammer to strike the small iron rod in the direction of rotation of the shaft. Install the eccentric sleeve securely and finally lock the socket head cap screws on the eccentric sleeve.
