Bearing installation
▊Housing: The bearing housing and the fitting tools must be kept clean during the assembling. A chamfer of 25。on the housing should be ensured for an easy assembling. A stepped press pin is recommended to be used for the assembling. The inner diameter of the CSB-EPB® plastic bearings is measured after the bushing is fitted into the H7 housing. 
▊Shaft: There is no critical requirement for the shaft material but chrome plated shaft is recommended for better operation. Rounded chamfer is required on the shaft for easy assembling. CSB recommend the shaft roughness to be in the range of Ra0.2~Ra0.8. Please refer to Graph 15 for the relation between the surface roughness and bearing friction coefficient (Graph:19).
CSB-EPB® plastic bearings are designed according to ISO 3547 Standard (Graph 18). Although the CSB-EPB® plastic bearings are designed for self-lubricating purpose, but the initial lubricating helps the assembling and the future operation of the bearings.

▊Adhesive agent: CSB-EPB® plastic bearings assembly generally needn't use glue, in case the glue is necessary, please consider the used glue can also work properly at the required temperature. Relative testing is recommended in this case.
