History of Inventions of Rolling Element Bearings http://boilersinfo.com/
Primary Function of Bearings
• Transmit loads • Reduce Friction • Secondary roles – Support the shaft – Locate the shaft http://boilersinfo.com/
Bearing Loads http://boilersinfo.com/
How did a bearing evolve ?
* Invention of wheel * Wheel rotates on axle * Wear Plate + Rollers * Inner ring + Outer ring + Rollers * With introduction of cage Rolling Bearing was created http://boilersinfo.com/
Precision Classes Precision classes: US vis-a-vis Europe
ABEC ISO 1 Normal 3 P6 5 P5 7 P4 9 P9 – Generally, use bearings no more than one precision class better than the precision of the mating components – Extra precision has no benefit if applied to poorly made mating components http://boilersinfo.com/
Internal Clearances Radial clearance
Axial clearance http://boilersinfo.com/
Bearing Basics C1 - Less than C2 clearance C2 - less than normal clearance (CN, C0) - normal clearance (not generally marked) C3 - greater than normal clearance (“standard”) C4 - greater than C3 clearance C5 - greater than C4 clearance Example: A 6210 /C3 Ball bearing has from 18 - 36 µm (microns) or 0.0007” - 0.0014” Radial Internal Clearance
