Staking | Swaging | |
|---|---|---|
Machinery requirement | Hydraulic press/arbor press at least 75 000N force | drill press |
Tool cost | Less expensive | More expensive |
limitation | Can damage PTFE lining, or cause bearing wall to deform | Hard to preform, require more practice to get right. Could destroy v-groove if done incorrectly |
