Proper mounting is essential to ensure long bearing life. ZMT tools are designed to facilitate safe, precise and quick mounting. Each kit features impact-resistant plastic collets. These avoid metal-to-metal contact and the resulting shaft damage.

During the mounting of bearings, where the faces lie in the same plane, the collets enable the load to be transmitted to the ring experiencing the interference fit. If the impact mounting tool is used, mounting forces are not transmitted via the rolling elements and damage to the raceways is avoided.

Proper mounting allows the load to be transmitted to the ring experiencing the interference fit. Mounting forces are not transmitted via the rolling elements, helping to prevent damage to the raceways.

Care should be taken when mounting tapered roller bearings. The cup can be mounted in either direction, but the cone can only be mounted from the back face. This ensures that the cage does not overhang. Never mount a cup and cone together or mount a cone from the front face. This will avoid damage to the cage and raceways which could lead to catastrophic failure.
