Staking will be defined as using stationary anvil dies and a hydraulic press (or something similar) to form the bearing v-groove onto the housing.
Advantages:
- Defined and controllable pressure application
- Less time required when compared to swaging
- Less space (clearance) required for tooling
- Staking tools are generally cheaper than swaging tools
Disadvantages:
- High installation pressure and unfavorable component dimensions increases the risk of influencing the bearing out ring dimensions. This can lead to increased bearing friction.
- Incomplete contact between bearing v-groove and housing chamfer is more likely than with swaging. This can lead to more inspection failures.
