What is the tolerance for a bearing?

Table 7-2 Bearing type and tolerance class

Bearing type Applied tolerance class
Deep groove ball bearing Class 0
Angular contact ball bearing Class 0
Self-aligning ball bearing Class 0
Cylindrical roller bearing Class 0

How much clearance do you need between bearing and shaft?

For most applications . 00075 to . 0010” (three quarters to one thousandth of an inch) of clearance per inch of shaft diameter is a reasonable starting point. For example, a 2.000” shaft diameter would require .

What is normal clearance of bearing?

As a general rule, a ball bearing should have an almost-zero operational clearance, while needle, spherical, cylindrical and CARB toroidal bearings should always have some residual radial operational clearance. Radial clearance is the play between the ball and raceway perpendicular to the bearing axis.

What are the tolerances for a bearings shaft?

The diameter tolerances for these bearings deviate from the Normal tolerances for other rolling bearings. the upper and lower limits of bore or outside diameter deviations for bearings with Normal tolerances the upper and lower limits of shaft or housing bore diameter deviations for relevant tolerance classes in accordance with ISO 286­2

What are the tolerances for tapered roller bearings?

The tables cannot be used for tapered roller bearings when d ≤ 30 mm or D ≤ 150 mm, or for thrust bearings when D ≤ 150 mm. The diameter tolerances for these bearings deviate from the Normal tolerances for other rolling bearings. the upper and lower limits of bore or outside diameter deviations for bearings with Normal tolerances

How are bearing tolerances related to ABEC specifications?

While the bearing tolerance classes primarily control boundary dimensions of the rings, it should also be noted that there are features that are critical to the bearings performance and life that are not controlled by the ABEC (or ISO) specifications.

What are the ISO standards for radial bearings?

Tolerance classes and the corresponding values for certain tolerance characteristics are specified in ISO 492 (for radial bearings) and ISO 199 (for thrust bearings). In 2014 these standards were aligned with general ISO GPS (Geometrical Product Specification) standards such as ISO 1101 and ISO 5459.
