CUTTING HEAD
Fitting with press
Push down the first bearing
fully to the stop in the bearing
housing.
Fitting with screw press
Fit the tools as per the illustra-
tions. Push in the first bearing
fully to the stop in the bearing
housing.
Fit bearing on the axle
Knock or press the axle in the
bearing using pressing device C.
Fit axle with bearing
Make the bearing housing
horizontal using assembly
support B.
Turn the axle correctly!
The spacer on the axle must be
turned downwards.
Press or knock down the bearing
together with the axle.
Fitting with press
Support the bearing housing under the
area for the bearing with, for example, a
piece of wood so that the bearing
housing is horizontal.
Put the bearing in place and position
the pressing device C on top of the bea-
ring. Push down the bearing fully to the
stop in the bearing housing.
If the bearing is knocked into place,
there is a great risk that the bearing will
enter at an angle into the bearing
housing causing damage. Use screw press
506 37 61-02 instead
Fitting with screw press
The bearing press 506 37 61-02 is the best
assembly tool for fitting the first bearing
if the hydraulic press is not available.
Fit the tool as per the illustrations.
Note that the support washer, shown in
the bottom illustration, have different
guides. The larger diameter provides firm
support to the bearing housing.
Screw in the bearing fully to the stop
in the bearing housing.
Fit bearing on the axle
Place the bearing on the axle and place
the axle in pressing device C. This bea-
ring provides support to the inner ring,
which is important here.
Use a plastic hammer to push or
knock the axle down until the spacer
meets the bearing's inner ring.
Fit axle with bearing
Use the assembly support B to make the
bearing housing horizontal. Place the
support on the first fitted bearing.
Turn the axle correctly!
Put the axle with the fitted bearing in
place in the bearing housing with the
spacer downwards.
Put pressing device C above the axle. The
device provides support to both bearing
rings during assembly.
Press or knock down the bearing to -
gether with the axle. When the spacer on
the axle reaches the first fitted bearing,
you can clearly feel the stop and the
units are in their proper position in the
bearing housing.
