Bearing fit and clearance

It is very important to match the bearing inner diameter with the shaft and outer diameter with the housing when the bearing is installed. If the fit is too loose, the mating surface will produce relative sliding, which is called creep. Once creep occurs, it will wear out the mating surface, damage the shaft or housing, and wear powder will invade into the bearing, causing heat, vibration and damage. Excessive interference will lead to smaller outer diameter of the outer ring or larger inner diameter of the inner ring, which will reduce the internal clearance of the bearing. In addition, the geometric accuracy of shaft and shell processing will also affect the original accuracy of the bearing ring, thus affecting the performance of the bearing.

1.1 Selection of Fit 1.1.1 The nature of load and selection of fit are determined according to the bearing bearing load direction and the rotation status of inner and outer rings, generally referring to Table 1. Table 1 and load and load bearing rotating conditions illustrations with inner ring: negative turns: static load direction: fixed inner ring spinning load inner ring, outer ring static load USES the interference fit (interference fit) outer ring: available running fit (clearance) inner ring: static negative circle: the rotation direction of the load, and the outer ring and spin inner ring: negative turns: static load direction: fixed inner ring static load inner ring, outer ring spinning load available running fit (clearance) outer ring: USES the interference fit (interference fit) inner ring: static negative circle: rotary load direction: with the inner ring spinning at the same time. 2) Recommended fit To select suitable fit, bearing load characteristics, size, temperature conditions, bearing installation, removal of various conditions. When the bearing is mounted to the thin-walled shell and hollow shaft, the interference amount needs to be larger than that of ordinary ones. The separated shell can easily deform the outer ring of the bearing, so the outer ring should be used carefully under the condition of static coordination. In the case of large vibration, the inner ring and the outer ring should adopt static coordination.

For example, the installation of part of the shoulder if the accuracy is not good, the inner and outer rings will be inclined. In addition to the bearing load, combined with the concentrated load at the end, the bearing fatigue life will be reduced, and more seriously, it will become the cause of cage damage and sintering. In addition, the shell deformation due to external load is not large. It is necessary to fully support the rigidity of the bearing. The higher the rigidity, the better the noise and load distribution of the bearing.

In general conditions of use, turning end machining or precision boring machine processing can be. However, for the occasions with strict requirements of rotation runout and noise and the load conditions are too harsh, the final grinding shall be used. When more than 2 bearings are arranged in the whole housing, the housing mating surfaces should be designed to be machined and perforated. In general conditions of use, shaft, housing precision and finish can be as shown in Table 4 below.

The so-called internal clearance of the bearing refers to the amount of movement when the inner or outer ring of the bearing is fixed before the bearing is mounted on the shaft or bearing box, and then the unfixed side is moved in radial or axial direction. According to the movement direction, it can be divided into radial clearance and axial clearance. When measuring the internal clearance of the bearing, in order to keep the measured value stable, the test load is generally applied on the ring. Therefore, the test value is larger than the actual clearance value, that is, an additional amount of elastic deformation caused by applying the test load. The actual value of bearing internal clearance is shown in Table 4.5. The increase of clearance caused by the above elastic deformation is corrected. The elastic deformation of roller bearings is negligible.

The operating clearance is closely related to the bearing life, temperature rise, vibration and noise, so it must be set to the optimal state.

Theoretically speaking, when the bearing is in operation, with slightly negative running clearance, the bearing life is maximum. But it is very difficult to maintain this optimal clearance. With the change of service conditions, the negative clearance of the bearing will increase correspondingly, which will lead to the significant decrease of bearing life or the generation of heat. Therefore, the initial clearance of the bearing is generally set to be slightly greater than zero. FIG. 2 variation of bearing radial clearance 2.3 Selection criteria for Bearing clearance Theoretically, bearing life is maximized when there is a slightly negative operating clearance under safe operation conditions. But in practice, it is very difficult to maintain this optimum condition. Once certain service conditions change, the negative clearance will increase, resulting in a significant decline in bearing life or heating. Therefore, when the initial clearance is usually selected, the operating clearance is required to be only slightly greater than zero.

For bearings under normal conditions, the coordination of common loads will be adopted. When the speed and temperature are normal, the corresponding common clearance should be selected to obtain the appropriate operating clearance.
