Dry Ice for Shrink Fitting

Shrink Fitting can extend the life of roller bearings and other shaft fitted parts, as it maintains the interference fit for which the components were designed. By using Dry Ice, it is possible to reduce the dimension of one component from that of another by thermal contraction.  When immediately offered up and fitted to the other componennt, and left to warm up and expand again to room temperature, a tight interference precision fit will be generated.
