NACHI BEARING Technical Description 1-2 Examine Bearing Type Factors Selection guidelines Allowable space for bearings ● When designing a shaft system, the rigidity and strength of the shaft are important factors. The rst step is to determine the shaft diameter, and the bore diameter. ● Figure 1.2 shows guidelines for the main precision rolling contact bearings types and sizes used in machine tools. Load (type, direction, magnitude) ● Select the optimum bearing type in accordance with the magnitude of radial and axial load, direction of the load (either one or both directions), and level (vibration...

Technical Description 2 Bearing Life 2-1 Basic Dynamic Load Rating and Rated Life Although the requirements of rolling contact bearings vary somewhat with the individual application, the principal requirements are: ● High load capabilities ● Low friction ● Smooth and quiet rotation ● High accuracy ● High rigidity The reliability or durability requirement sets the time frame over which all other requirements are to be maintained. The reliability requirement (life in the broad sense) includes grease and acoustic life, as well as fatigue life. Reliability is reduced by various type of damage and...

NACHI BEARING Technical Description 2-3 Angular Contact Ball Bearing Load In the case of angular contact ball bearings, the points where the extended contact lines within the bearing and the axis as shown in Figure 2.1 must be used as the bearing support points (load centers). Because of this, angular contact ball bearings are shown in dimension tables with "a" dimensions indicating support point positions. This consideration is particularly important when a moment load is acting on a bearing series. Axial component forces are generated when a radial load acts on an angular contact ball bearing....

Technical Description Bearing Life 2-4 Basic Static Load Rating and Static Equivalent Load ● Table 2.3 Static Load Factors 2.4.1 Basic Static Load Rating Load applied to stationary bearings can create permanent indentions in the load surfaces. While some level of deformation can be tolerated, a level of deformation will be reached where noise and vibration during operation of the bearing, will make the bearing unusable. The term Basic Static Load Rating (Cor or Coa) refers to the maximum contact stress value of the static load when the rolling element and raceways contact. Ball bearings — 4200...

Technical Description 4 Bearing Arrangement 4-1 Duplex Bearing Features In addition to a duplex set, precision angular contact ball bearings and ball screw support bearings are available in 3-row duplex and 4-row duplex. Bearings in these combinations are manufactured in sets with a desired preload and dimensional variation of outside diameter and bore diameter within the bearing sets are controlled. Because of this, avoid switching the duplex bearings in a set with other bearings. Table 4.1 shows the main combinations and describes their characteristics. ● Table 4.1 Main Combinations and Characteristics...

NACHI BEARING Technical Description 4-2 Mounting and Mounting Symbols The symbols used for each type of combination are shown in Table 4.1. The arrangement sequence and direction of the load are important for duplex bearings. Because of this, the outside surface of the outer ring of the duplex bearings in Figure 4.1 has a combination mark ([<]) that can be used to check the arrangement sequence. If the bearings are arranged in the correct sequence, the marks on the outside surface of each bearing appear as a "<" Bearing Selection DB DF DT FFB BFF FFF Bearing Life Bearing Tolerance Bearing Arrangement...
