1 7. Bearing Fits 7. Fitting For rolling s, inner and outer rings are fixed on the or in the housing so that relative movement does not occur between fitting surfaces during operation or under. This relative movement between the fitting surfaces of the and the or housing can occur in a radial direction, an axial direction, or in the direction of rotation. Types of fitting include tight, transition and loose fitting, which may be selected depending on whether or not there is interference. The most effective way to fix the fitting surfaces between a 's raceway and or housing is to apply a "tight fit." The advantage of this tight fit for thin walled s is that it provides uniform support over the entire ring circumference without any loss of carrying capacity. However, with a tight fit, ease of installation and disassembly is lost; and when using a non-separable as the floating-side, axial displacement is not possible. For this reason, a tight fit cannot be recommended in all cases. 7.2 The necessity of a proper fit In some cases, improper fit may lead to damage and shorten life, therefore it is necessary to make a careful investigation in selecting a proper fit. Some of the failure caused by improper fit are listed below. Raceway cracking, early flaking and displacement of raceway Raceway and or housing abrasion caused by creeping and fretting corrosion Seizing caused by negative internal clearances Increased noise and deteriorated rotational accuracy due to raceway groove deformation Please refer to insert pages A-96 A-99 for information concerning diagnosis of these conditions. 7.3 Fit selection Selection of a proper fit is dependent upon thorough analysis of operating conditions, including consideration of: Shaft and housing material, wall thickness, finished surface accuracy, etc. Machinery operating conditions (nature and magnitude of, rotational speed, temperature, etc.) 7.3. "" or "Loose fit" () For raceways under rotating s, a tight fit is necessary. (Refer to Table 7.) "Raceways under rotating s" refers to raceways receiving s rotating relative to their radial direction. For raceways under static s, on the other hand, a loose fit is sufficient. (Example) Rotating inner ring = the direction of the radial on the inner ring is rotating relatively (2) For non-separable s, such as deep groove ball s, it is generally recommended that either the inner ring or outer ring be given a loose fit.

2 7.3.2 Recommended Fits Bearing fit is governed by the selection tolerances for diameters and housing bore diameters. Widely used fits for Class tolerance s and various and housing bore diameter tolerances are shown in Fig. 7.. Generally-used, standard fits for most types of s and operating conditions are shown in Tables Table 7.2: Fits for radial s Table 7.3: Fits for thrust s Table 7.4: Fits for electric motor s Table 7.6: Fits for inch series tapered roller s (ANSI Class 4) Table 7.7: Fits for inch series tapered roller s (ANSI Class 3 and ) Table 7.5. shows fits and their numerical values. For special fits or applications, please consult NTN Engineering Interference minimum and maximum values The following points should be considered when it is necessary to calculate the interference for an application: In calculating the minimum required amount of interference keep in mind that: ) interference is reduced by radial s 2) interference is reduced by differences between temperature and ambient temperature 3) interference is reduced by variation of fitting surfaces The upper limit value should not exceed / of the diameter. Required interference calculations are shown below. () Radial s and required interference Interference of the inner ring and decreases when a radial is applied to the. The interference required to secure effective interference is expressed by formulae (7.) and (7.2). Fr.3 Cor ΔdF=.8 (d Fr / B) /2 N =.25 (d Fr / B) /2 {kgf }} (7.) Fr >.3 Cor ΔdF=.2 (Fr / B) N =.2 (Fr / B) {kgf }} (7.2) Where, ΔdF: Required effective interference according to radial μm d : Bearing bore diameter mm B : Inner ring width mm Fr : Radial N{kgf} Cor : Basic static rating N{kgf} shown in formula (7.3). ΔdT =.5 d ΔT (7.3) ΔdT : Required effective interference for temperature difference μm ΔT : Difference between temperature and ambient temperature C d : Bearing bore diameter mm (3) Fitting surface variation and required interference Interference decreases because the fitting surface is smoothened by fitting (surface roughness is reduced). The amount the interference decreases depends on roughness of the fitting surface. It is generally necessary to anticipate the following decrease in interference. For ground s:. 2.5μm For lathed s: 5. 7.μm (4) Maximum interference When rings are installed with an interference fit, tension or compression stress may occur along their raceways. If interference is too great, this may cause damage to the rings and reduce life. You should try to obtain the previously described upper limit Other details () Tight interference fits are recommended for, Operating conditions with large vibration or shock s Applications using hollow s or housings with thin walls Applications using housings made of light alloys or plastic (2) Small interference fits are preferable for, Applications requiring high running accuracy Applications using small sized s or thin walled s (3) Consideration must also be given to the fact that fit selection will effect internal clearance selection.

Use s with larger internal clearances than CN clearance s. When greater accuracy is required use g5. For large s, f6 will suffice for to facilitate movement. When greater accuracy is required use h5.
