ring abuts a shoulder on the shaft or in
the housing at one side. At the oppos-
ite side, inner rings are normally
secured by a snap ring, shaft nut or
an end plate attached to the
shaft end.
Outer rings are usually retained by the
housing end cover ( >

ings ( The dimensions of the shaft andhousing shoulders adjacent to the bear-
ing must provide sufficient support for
the bearing rings, without contact
between the rotating parts of the bear-
ing and a stationary component. To
ensure this, appropriate abutment
dimensions are quoted for each indi-
vidual bearing listed in the product
tables.When using a shaft nut to locate asealed bearing, insert an intermediate
ring between the bearing and the lock-
ing washer and, probably, to extend
the threaded portion of the shaft

Design of associatedcomponents
An interference fit alone is generallyinadequate for the axial location of a
spherical
industrial roller bearing ring. As a rule,
some suitable means of axially secur-
ing the ring is needed. Both rings of a locating bearing should be axially
secured at both sides. For non-locating
bearings, on the other hand, it is suffi-
cient if the ring having the tighter fit –
usually the inner ring – is axially
secured; the other ring must be free to
move axially with respect to its seating
( For arrangements with large sphericalroller bearings it is often necessaryto
make design provisions to enable the
bearings to be mounted or dismounted
easily. For example, withdrawal tools can be applied to dismount bearings,if appropriate slots are machinedin the
shaft and housing shoulders, or if
threaded holes are provided in the housing shoulders.If the oil injection method is to beused to mount and dismount bearings
