Linear ball bearings, stroke type

For adjusting the cage so it locates at the outer ring
center after a shaft was mounted, push the cage in the
arrow direction in Fig. 2 by inserting the shaft into the
outer ring that was press-fitted in the housing. (Fig. 2)
In this condition, insert slowly the shaft up to the center
point of the reciprocating stroke and, thereafter, further
push-in the shaft by 1/2 of the stroke. (Fig. 3) Then,
return the shaft by 1/2 of the stroke to thereby locate the
cage at the outer ring center and the shaft at the center
point of the reciprocating stroke. (Fig. 4)

The outer ring must be press-fitted so its
grease feed hole locates at load non-acting side.
Where moment load acts on a bearing due to
use of a vertical shaft, the load could act on the
grease feed hole. Caution it.
