METHOD OF BONDING BEARING TO MEMBER TO WHICH BEARING IS FITTED

摘要

PURPOSE:To prevent the outflow of grease from a bearing and the occurrence of nonuniformity in an applied adhesive, by utilizing the heat applied when a member to which a bearing is attached is preheated before joining for causing an adhesive to cure so that the bearing is bonded to the member. CONSTITUTION:In a heating and assembling unit 6, a base 2 is preheated to the same temperature as a maximum temperature of use by means of a lower core coil 63 and an upper core 64. When the heated base is set to an assembling position Z and a bearing 1 to which an adhesive has been applied is also set to the assembling position Z by means of a conveying and assembling unit 3, the hand 31 of the conveying and assembling unit 3 moves the bearing 1 in a vertical direction toward the fitting hold of the base 2 for insertion. Since the base 2 has been preheated to the same temperature as am guaranteed maximum temperature, the heat causes an anaerobic adhesive applied to the bearing 1 to cure so that the ring of the bearing 1 can be bonded to the base 2.
