If bearings are mounted using the cylindrical mounting process, it can take considerable force to achieve the necessary interference fits to prevent the bearing from spinning on the rotating component. Heating bearings is a good way to temporarily expand the bearing rings to facilitate mounting without the use of excessive force that could damage bearings. Heaters can be used for mounting or dismounting by efficiently heating bearings and workpieces (gears, sprockets) large and small.
