AIM
To Design a Fixture which reduces the time for fixing the
Bearings and Increases the accuracy of fitting without
occurrence of any failure.
Objectives
The objective of this project or design is as follows:
• To press multiple bearing inside crank-case.
• To maintain stability of crank-case while pressing the
bearing.
• To maintain accuracy and precision while pressing
bearing inside the crank-case.
Features Analysis done on the Crank-Case for its maximum
withstanding load
• The Bush is designed to hold lubricating fluid between
guide rod and itself. Also oil seal is fixed with it so as to
hold the oil inside the bush and to supply only sufficient
amount of oil.
• Distance pieces are used so that the pusher used for
holding and fixing bearings dose not move deeper in the
crank-case.
• Ball-Catcher are used in the pushers to hold the
bearings tightly and release them when fixed.

Problem Identification

By our observation in the industry we observed following

problems:

• We observed in the industry that fixing of bearings

inside the crank-case was a tedious job.
Benefits
• It was done manually by pressing via hands and
hammers which was not much accurate. • Decreases the wastage of time for fixing Bearing in the
Crank-Case.
• Also it was very time consuming job.
• Reduces the occurrence of failure in Bearings.
• While fixing the bearing they were getting damaged and 01: Crank-Case 12: Pusher
also after fixing its working was affected. 03: Bearing 16: Distance Piece • For every change in the Crank-Case there is no need of
06: Resting Plate 18: Lower Collar changing the whole fixture, only pusher plate is required
07: Lower Base Plate 19: Upper Collar to be changed.
