What is the radial clearance

The original clearance
Before installation free state of clearance of the bearing.The original clearance is processing, assembling the identified by the manufacturer.
Installation clearance
Is also called cooperate clearance, bearing and shaft and bearing seat installed but not yet work clearance.Due to the interference installation, or make inner ring increases, or the outer shrink, or both, make installation clearance is smaller than the original clearance.
Work clearance
Bearing in the working state of clearance, the largest circle temperature rise at work, is the largest thermal expansion, reduce bearing clearance;At the same time, as a result of the action of load, rolling element and raceway contact produce elastic deformation, the bearing clearance increases.Bearing clearance than installation clearance big or small, depends on a combination of these two factors.
Some rolling bearings can not be adjusted clearance, more can't remove, these bearings have six models, namely 0000 type 5000 type;
Some rolling bearings can adjust the clearance, but cannot remove, type 6000 (angular contact bearings) and inner ring cone hole type 1000, type 2000 and type 3000 rolling bearing, these types of rolling bearing installation clearance, after adjustment will be smaller than the original clearance;
In addition, some of the bearing can be removed, more can adjust the clearance, type 7000 (tapered roller bearing), type 8000 (thrust ball bearing) and 9000 (thrust roller bearings) three, the three bearing does not exist the original clearance;
Type 6000 and type 7000 rolling bearing, the radial clearance is small, the axial clearance is smaller, and vice versa, and type 8000 and type 9000 rolling bearing, it is of practical significance for the axial clearance only.
The installation of the appropriate clearance help bearing normal work.Clearance is too small, rolling bearing temperature, cannot work normally, and roller jammed;Clearance is too large, large equipment vibration and noise of rolling bearings.
The measurement method of bearing radial clearance
Country and bearing industry has specialized testing standard (JB/T3573-93).In bearing manufacturing factory has dedicated testing instrument to measure the radial clearance of the bearing.For self-aligning bearing radial clearance, usually using feeler method.
Here is measured with a feeler spherical roller bearing radial clearance methods: detection equipment, assembly equipment, customized equipment, bearing testing, component testing, inner diameter measurement, inner hole diameter measurement, inner diameter, outside diameter, size measurement, measurement instrument and automatic measurement, automatic testing, visual inspection, image detection, pulse detection, automation equipment, automatic machines, testing equipment development, inner hole meter, electric equipment。
1. Stand up to bearing, closed.Important: bearing inner ring and outer ring width, there can be no tilt.Will thumb hold the inner ring and swinging 2-3 times, according to tight down, make the inner ring and rolling body positioning table.
Positioning of each roller position, make the inner ring raceway on both sides of the top roller, each have a a roller to push will be at the top of the amphibious talents, to ensure that they keep the appropriate contact with inner ring raceway.
2. According to the clearance criteria chosen feeler.
Point: check clearance of bearing inner hole size corresponding to the clearance value in the standard, according to its maximum and minimum value to determine the corresponding maximum and minimum in the feeler gauge feeler.
3. Choose maximize radial clearance measurement.
Key points: after bearing stand up, on the outer ring raceway and roller clearance between maximize is radial clearance.
4. Bearing radial clearance is measured with a feeler.
Point: rotating ring and roller cage components for a week, in the three consecutive roller can pass, and cannot be passed on the rest of the roller feeler slice thickness for maximum radial clearance measurement;On three consecutive roller cannot pass, and in the rest of the roller can through the feeler slice thickness for minimum radial clearance measurement value.Take the maximum and minimum radial clearance of the arithmetic mean of the measured value as a bearing radial clearance value.In each column of the radial clearance after qualified, take dual talent column of clearance of the arithmetic mean as the bearing radial clearance.For single row angular contact ball bearing, tapered roller bearing and thrust bearing, its installation at the end of the work is to adjust the axial clearance of bearing.Bearing axial clearance need according to the installation structure, load, working temperature and bearing performance accurately adjusted.Below the axial clearance of the measuring methods and how to adjust the axial clearance.
Using dial gauge measuring method of auto-hub bearing axial clearance: place support firmly with a dial indicator on the fuselage or casing, which has put the dial gauge meter on a shaft of bright and clean surface, driving shaft in both directions, the clock indicates the limits of deviation, namely for the axial clearance values.
