It’s true what they say, not one size fits all. Especially when it comes down to bearings, which is why it’s crucial to get the right measurements, preload and material for your application’s exact needs.
2. Install
Installation
Most business won’t offer installations and they won’t even send you with an instruction guide! If you go to a more specialist bearing supplier (like ourselves) they also offer an installation service.
3. Lube
Which Lubrication
When you purchase your bearing make sure to ask the supplier what lubrication they would recommend and how often it needs to be lubricated. this is a vital step in caring for your bearing.
4. Inspect
Time to inspect
It sounds pretty simple right? Wouldn’t you do this anyway? You would be so suspired at just how many people only check their bearings when they notice a problem. Regular inspections are vital and shouldn’t be missed!
5. Avoid
What to avoid
This one is pretty obvious. When your purchasing or designing your bearing make sure you know how much load your bearing will be taking and make this clear to the people on the other end or this could cost you a loss of money.
6. Advice
Follow the advice!
Nobody knows the bearing like the manufacturer does. Listen to every little bit of advice your given and take it on board. We don’t tell you for the fun of it!

It's all in the storage
