Mounting
SKF strongly recommends the use of backing bearings belonging to the same cross-sectional height group (table 1) on any one support shaft. After removing the transport locking devices, backing bearings and support saddles should be pushed alternately onto the shaft using suitable mounting equipment. During mounting, care must be taken that, for example, the inner ring of cylindrical roller backing bearings is not pushed out of the roller complement as this will cause the rollers of full complement bearings to fall out of the bearing.
