# BEARING FITS
1.THE PURPOSE OF FITS
The Purpose of Fits is that let bearing inner ring or outer ring be both fixed firmly with shaft or housing,in case any circumferential slipping is occurred on the matching surface.
This kind of slipping which is called "creep"will cause many faults,such as :abnormal heating,the matching surface wear (abrasivee metallic particles ingress the interior of the bearing) and vibration etc.It may destory the bearing function.Therefore, it is important to let rings have tight ift in order that they are firmly fixed with shaft or housing.
2.THE DIMENSION TOLERANCE AND FIT OF SHAFT OR HOUSING
The metric dimension tolerance of shaft and housing bore is based on ISO 286,selecting the dimension tolerance from this standard to decide the fit situation between shaft,housing and bearing.
Regaring the dimension tolerance of shaft or housing bore & the fit relationship of bearing tolerance class P0,see the following FIg 1.
3.SELECTION OF FITS
It should fully be considered the bearing application conditionmwhen selects fits.
It should be considered the following items generally:
·Types and magnitude of load
·The distributing f operational temperature
·The internalclearance of bearing
·The processing quality of shaft and housing, material and housing thickness as well as structure
·Means of bearing mounting and dismounting
·Whether Or not use matching surface to avoid the heat expansion of shaft
·The type and dimension of bearing
The following are connectionwith above items to explain selection of fits.
1) THE INFLUENCE OF LOAD CONDITIONS
Basic on conditions, the bearing load can be divided into inner ring rotating load, outer ring rotating load and indeterminate direction load. The details can be found in Tab 2.
2)THE INFLUENCE OF LOAD MAGNITUDE
When inner ring is under the radial load, inner ring is slightly increased in the load direction. Therefore initial magnitude of interference will be decreased.
The loss of interference should be estimated using the following equations.
Therefore, when the radial load is heavy load (the value exceeds 2596 of CO), the fit must become tighter than light load.
If it impacts load,the fitting must tighter.
3)THE INFLUENCE OF MATCHING SURACE ROUGHNESS
If the plastic deformation of matching surace is considered, the effective inte rference will be influenced by the roughness of matching surface. It may use the following equations:
4)THE INFLUENCE OF TEMPERATURE
Generally speaking, the bearing operating temperature is higher than surrounding,moreover, when bearing rotating with load, the temperature of inner ring is higher than shaft, so the effective interference decreases due to heat expansion.
If the temperature difference between the bearingand housing is △T ,then the temperature difference between the matching surfaces of the shaft and inner ring is estimated to be about (0.1-0.15) △T.
The decrement in the interference of the inner ring due to this temperature difference △d may be calculated using Equation:
So, when the temperature of bearing is higher than shaft, the fit must tighter.
In addition, the interference may increase due to the temperature difference and the linear expansion coefficients all are different between outer ring and housing. Therefore, when considering avoiding heat expansion of shaft via sliding between outer ring and housing, we should pay more attention to this.
5) THE MAXIMUM STRESS OCCURRED BY FITTINGIN RINGS
The rings will be expanded and shrunken due to tight fit mounting so that will cause internal stress. Excessive stress may lead ring broken, should pay more attention to this. The maximum stress is ccurred by fitting in bearing rings may be calculated by the equations in Table3. For reference, it will be safe, when the maximum interference less than 1/1000 of shaft diameter,or the maximum stress less than 120MPa where getting from the equations in section 3.
6) OTHERS
We should improve the precision of shaft and housing due to higher accuracy requirement. Comparing with shaft, the housing normally is difficult to machining and poor precision, so it should Ioose the fitting of outer ring and housing. A tighter fitting is necessary due to adopting the thin housing and hollow shaft. The fitting should be loosed due to adopting the split housing. The fitting should tighter than usual when adopting the aluminum or light alloy housing. It is advisable to consult OTT.
# 4 RECOMMENDED FITS
As section1 described, many factors must be considered when selecting the proper fit, such as the characteristics and bearing load magnitudes, temperature differences, and methods of bearing mounting and dismounting. But in fact selecting the fiting, previous experience should be referred.
The fits for metric series bearings are used, as Tab4 showing. The recommended fits for some common applications are shown in Tab5-8.
