| width from the nominal Radial internal clearance, preload Maintenance free spherical plain bearings with a bore diameter up to and including 90 mm may have an internal clearance or a slight preload (negative clearance) because of their design. For these bearings, therefore, only the permissible maximum limit for bearing clearance is given in the table, and also only the permissible upper limit for the frictional moment depending on the preload in the circumferential direction under measuring load. The radial internal clearance and the upper limit of the permissible frictional moment of bearings with the sliding contact surface combination steel/sinter bronze composite and steel/PTFE fabric are given in Table |2 . The values for the clearance limits of bearings with the sliding contact surface combination steel/PTFE composite are listed in Table [3 . |
