How are bearings mounted?

[Justin218]

Take a look at this picture: http://teamdelta.com/products/rcm220.jpg
How do you mount a bearing to the aluminum plate? I imagine using any type of intense heat would mess with the ball bearings symmetry.

They are press fit from the looks of it.

Actually, they just leave it there in the middle of the night at the factory. Then, the ball bearing elves comes out and put it in the by some magical process. Really. I've seen security survelence tapes of them.

Are these UNION elves ????

Or do they work at night to avoid immigration ??

 

[Justin218]

How does the process of being press fit work? I've been trying to pickup some metal working knowledge, but don't know where to start.

 

[dude]

I can't explain it Justin218 but I'll send you the tape with the elves.

 

[Justin218]

I'd appreciate that very much. 😛

Actually it's just basic knowledge.

Friction, or the lack of it due to such close tolerances.

The empty hole and the bearing are the same size.

press the bearing into the hole and it stays.

the inner core of the bearing then spins on the enclosed balls, while the outer race stays tight in the material.
