ISI Certification (BIS) for
Rolling Bearings Accessories IS 16605 Part-1

Assemblies and withdrawal sleeves play a crucial role in the rolling bearing system. They allow for secure mounting and convenient dismounting of bearings. IS 16605 Part-1 specifies the dimensions of adapter sleeve assemblies and withdrawal sleeves used for rolling bearings. It ensures that products are certified to a particular high-quality level that supports optimal bearing performance and longevity. Let’s delve deeper and know more about the BIS certification for rolling bearing accessory dimensions.

Overview of Assemblies and Withdrawal Sleeves

BIS has listed several different standards that relate to rolling bearing accessories, which are essential elements of machinery used in industries. Rolling bearing accessories include adapter sleeve assemblies and withdrawal sleeves, which are closely involved in both the assembly and disassembly of rolling bearings.

To ensure precision, safety, and durability, the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) has released IS 16605 part-1, which is the specification for assemblies and withdrawal sleeves. Obtaining BIS certification confirms compliance with quality standards adopted in India and helps ensure the reliability and acceptance of the product in a variety of markets.

1. Adapter Sleeve Assemblies: These are used to mount bearings on shafts that are smaller than the inner diameter of the bearing. The sleeve adapter provides a functional way to secure the bearing without needing a tight press fit and is then easily assembled and disassembled.

2. Withdrawal Sleeves: These are used to mount bearings on shafts or other means of easy disassembly. The withdrawal sleeve gives a secure fit between the bearing and shaft but allows for easy disassembly if needed.

Some Key Benefits of Adapter Sleeves & Withdrawal Sleeves

1. Adapter Sleeves

• Simplicity of Installation: Adapter sleeves allow for the simple installation of bearings without the requirement of a press fit, making it easier to assemble and reducing the chances of damage.
• Variability of Size: The sleeve allows bearings to be mounted onto shafts of various diameters, allowing for variability in bearing applications. 
• Strong: The sleeves are designed to endure considerable operational forces, e.g., unsuitable shaft balance, and can be durable in harsh operating conditions.

2. Withdrawal Sleeves

• Ease of Disassembly: Withdrawal sleeves allow bearings to be disassembled with little time and effort for the maintenance or replacement of bearings.
• No Damage to Shaft or Bearing: The design of withdrawal sleeves ensures that a shaft and bearing are fine during the disassembly so both do not receive damage.
• Efficiency: Withdrawal sleeves allow bearing removal to be fast and easy, which decreases downtime during bearing removal.

Importance of Obtaining BIS Certification for IS 16605 (Part 1)

Here are some of the importance of obtaining an ISI Mark certification: 

• Government Quality Assurance: The ISI mark signifies that a product complies with the government quality benchmark, which assures customers of the product’s quality. 
• Mandatory Compliance: The ISI Mark is required of assemblies and withdrawal sleeves. Failure to meet certification requirements could lead to fines, penalties, or even confiscation of the materials. 
• Increase Competitiveness in the Marketplace: Certification could drastically increase your product’s chance of success in the market. 
• Consumer Transparency: Consumers are much more likely to purchase an ISI-certified product, as the label assures safety and quality. This creates a measure of trust and confidence in buyers. 
• Comparison Value: Teaming up with an industry-leading brand will create a value benchmark for local market performance.

Key Elements of IS 16605 Part-1

The key aspects covered by IS 16605 Part 1 include:

• This standard lays down the required dimensions for adapter sleeves and withdrawal sleeves.
• The dimensions ensure the compatibility of accessories with the bearings and shafts they are intended for, ensuring a proper fit. 
• The standard provides details on allowable tolerance for each dimension to ensure proper functionality and fit. 
• The standard provides performance requirements that accessories must meet to ensure durability, proper operation, and easy installation. 
• Adapter sleeves and withdrawal sleeves covered under IS 16605 (Part 1) are used in many applications in industries, e.g., automotive, heavy machinery, and manufacturing.
