Installation of CIP bearings

CIP bearings should be fully supported over their loaded area, with uniform interference fit. A suitable lead-in chamfer should be provided in the housing, and drawing or pressing-in methods should be used. Hammer blows should be
avoided. It is recommended that bearings be retained by shoulders whenever possible. CIP bearings close in between 90-100% of their interference fit. Flat components such as wear pads can be retained by countersunk screws and located by keeper plates where high lateral or shearing loads are anticipated.
