Tool for removing pressed-in bearings

A number of things can go wrong during a bearing change: damage to the shaft or bearing can occur due to improper handling or improper installation of the new bearing. Particularly on seized bearings, the question arises as to how to successfully remove the latter without damaging the surrounding components and the bearing itself. In this context, the appropriate tools are crucial for the successful disassembly and installation of pressed-in bearings. In this article, we present tools and methods to ensure that the next bearing change is guaranteed to succeed.

Ball screw drives - accuracy by preloading

Ball screw drives convert rotary motion into precise linear motion or vice-versa. They are often used as a drive element. Positioning accuracy is critical when using ball screw drives. One way to increase the positioning accuracy of a ball screw drive is to reduce the play between the spindle and nut with a preload. However, since this preload also changes the ease of movement of the system, there are ball screw drives with adjustable preload. The system can be preloaded to such an extent that the permissible axial play between the ball nut and the threaded spindle is achieved without overly limiting the free movement. Preloading can achieve positional accuracy within a few micrometers. In this article, you will learn how this works and what accuracy classes there are.
