Hevi-Rail Combined Bearing Adjustment Guide
Hevi-Rail® bearings are heavy duty roller bearings that provide extremely high load capacities for material handling and other applications. In particular, the HVBEA series bearings provide a good way to deal with axial clearances in the system. This video addresses this procedure in detail. Below is a list of quick steps to adjust the eccentric portion of the bearing to reduce any axial play.
-
Remove all of the Allen head screws from the face plate.
-
Apply even pressure, pulling up on the outside raceway while pushing down on the eccentric bearing, to separate the two bearings.
-
Measure from the flat casing surface to the highest point of the eccentric bearing.
-
Rotate the eccentric bearing around the off-set axis to change the height of the bearing from the flat casing surface.
-
Re-measure and adjust until the distance needed is reached.
- Re-assemble the bearing and tighten all of the screws back into the face plate.
Hevi-Rail is perfect for telescoping applications, warehouse handling systems, custom and standard lift units, and steel and coil handling. For more information on PBC Linear or Hevi-Rail products, please email us at marketing@pbclinear.com. You can also contact us by phone at 1.800.962.8979.
