4. Selection of shafts
4.1 Shaft dimensional tolerance
Clearance fit “h” is normally applied for the dimensional tolerance between bearing inner rings and spherical in side diameter
of housing. The values shown in Table 4.1 are considered appropriate for the shaft dimensional tolerance in the case of
loose press-fitting.
When using flat tip set-screw (SH type), h7/h8 (when using carbon steel) shown in Table 4.1 are appropriate as the shaft
dimensional tolerance.
For high precision operation, high speed rotation, heavy and/or shock load application, interference fit is recommended for
the fit between the shaft and the bearing inner ring. When applying tight fit like this, it is recommended to follow the
dimensional tolerance for the shaft as shown as per the Table 4.2. For such tight fit between the bearing and the shaft, the
initial bearing internal clearance must be larger than its standard clearance.

5. Mounting method
1) Slide the insert bearing unit onto the shaft slowly and bring it to the predetermined position.
2) Mount the insert bearing unit on the machine base and secure it firmly with bolts.
3) Tighten the set-screws by equal force with a hexagonal wrench key to secure the insert bearing unit to the shaft.
Remarks: 1. Before sliding the insert bearing unit onto the shaft, check that the tips of set-screws do not protrude from the
inside diameter of bearing. If a tip protrudes, loosen the set-screws.
2. When sliding the insert bearing unit onto the shaft, do not allow the shaft to come in direct contact with the
side of the inner ring or the slinger and use extra caution to prevent it from being twisted.
If strong impact is applied to the insert bearing unit, it is possible that the slingers on both sides may
move and come in contact with the seal. In this case, the rotation torque becomes larger, which may
cause abnormal heating and noise to be generated if the insert bearing unit is used in such condition.
After mounting the insert bearing unit, applying strong impact when mounting transmission system
parts such as pulleys, sprockets, etc. on the shaft may cause the same phenomenon, so extra
caution should be taken to prevent strong impact from being applied to the insert bearing unit.
3. The machine base on which the insert bearing unit is
Inside diameter number Flatness
mounted must have high rigidity and high flatness to

prevent the housing from being deformed. 0.1mm or less
(shaft diameter: Φ65 or less)
(Excluding cartridge type and take-up type models) 14 or higher
0.15mm or less
(shaft diameter: Φ70 or more)
4. The values shown in Table 5.1 are considered appropriate for the tightening torque.
If the set-screws is tightened excessively, deformation of the inner ring may cause the rotational
accuracy to be reduced and the inner ring to be cracked.
5. The values shown in Table 5.2 are considered appropriate for the tightening torque of housing mounting
bolts.

3) Press-fit the spigot joint of the covers into the spigot joint of the
Fig. 6.2: For cast-iron covers
housing.
4) For cast-iron covers, secure it with hexagon bolts.
5) For pressed steel covers, attach it by tapping the side of the
circumference with a wood hammer or plastic hammer as shown
in Fig. 6.3.
Remarks: 1. For a rubber-sealed cover to be located inside, slide it onto the shaft before mounting it on the insert bearing
unit main body.
2. To maximize dust resistance and humidity resistance, also apply grease to the spigot joint of the housing and
the shaft surface where the lip part of the rubber seal comes in contact.

7. Inspection
After finishing mounting the insert bearing unit, inspect whether the mounting conditions are appropriate or not.
First, turn the shaft by hand to check that the insert bearing unit rotates smoothly. If no problem is observed, rotate it by
electric power to inspect for noise or temperature increases.
7.1 Noise
Touch the housing with a listening rod or screwdriver and listen for
noises during operation to check for abnormalities. (Photo 7.1)
For normal operation conditions, a smooth rotation noise is generated,
but if there is an abnormality in mounting, an abnormal noise may be
generated.
Inspect the above items during commissioning and start operating the
insert bearing unit fully after checking that there is no abnormality.
Further, it is recommended that inspections also be performed
periodically at the predetermined interval during operation to detect
failures in the bearings at an early stage.
In addition, monitoring to check that there are no changes in noise or
increases in temperature by comparing the differences between the
results of periodic inspections and other inspections is an effective
measure for preventing accidents and damage to machinery. Photo 7.3: Temperature measurement (non-contact type)
For the bearing failure and its preventive measures during the test run
and the periodical inspection of the insert bearing units, please refer to
our General Catalogue and/or access ASAHI WEBSITE to ‘Inspection
and Failure’.

8. Lubrication
8.1 Lubrication grease
This insert bearing has been factory-lubricated with the grease shown in Table 8.1. Therefore, it is recommended that the
same grease as the factory-lubricated grease be used.
insert bearing unit are as follows: For heat-resistant use HR5 Normal temperature to +200
HR23 Normal temperature to +230
For low-temperature-
CR2A -40 to +100
2. For heat-resistant specifications, the resistant use
FD -10 to +100
bearing radial inside clearance has been For food machines use HR20

designed to be larger originally; therefore, (heat-resistant)
* HR23 specifications
For H23 specifications, the insert bearing chamber has been filled with fluorinated high-quality heat-resistant grease and
lubrication-free insert bearing units are provided as standard.
The lubrication-free type shows all insert bearing units having specifications not equipped with a grease filling mechanism, such as
specifications using completely-lubrication-free type housings whose housing nominal number includes an auxiliary mark “G00”,
specifications whose housing grease fitting hole is blocked with “KU” and “KA” steel plugs, etc. (Figs. 8.1 to 8.3)

Grease is injected into the inside of the bearing from the grease hole of
the outer ring through the grease groove provided on the
circumference of the spherical bearing seat from the grease fitting
replenishing port. Injected grease is stirred by the rotation of the
bearing and mixed with previously-injected grease in the bearing and
excess grease is discharged from the section between the slinger and
outer ring through the rubber seal lip part. (Photo 8.3, Fig. 8.4)

Insert Bearing Units (Set-screws locking type)
* For insert bearing units with a cover, the grease amount in the covers increases by replenishment of grease, but this does not
interfere with operation. It is recommended that the covers be removed during overhaul (once or twice per year when used at
normal temperature), the grease in the covers be removed, and then replenishment with new grease be performed.

9. Replacement of bearing
When replacing the insert bearing unit with a new one, if either the bearing or housing is slightly damaged, replacement of
either one is possible instead of replacing both ones.
When assembling the bearing into the housing, position the bearing
Notched part
outer ring at right angles to the bearing seat, and press-fit it into the of housing
notched part of housing, and then turn the bearing. (Photo 9.1) Grease hole
of outer ring
At this time, ensure that the outer ring locking pin is inserted into the
notched part of housing. Note that forcibly pressing the locking pin
in the bearing seat other than at the notched part may cause outer Locking pin
ring cranking. (Photo 9.2)
