    UBC Bearings of America Limited provides basic information about bearings. Bearings are used to reduce friction, carry loads, and guide moving parts. They contain inner and outer rings separated by rolling elements like balls or rollers. Bearings come in different types suited to different applications based on factors like speed, load capacity, and tolerance for misalignment. Proper selection requires considering available space, operating conditions, load direction, and other application-specific factors. Standardized systems exist for naming and specifying bearing types, sizes, and other characteristics.

    Internal Clearances
    Radial clearance

    Axial clearance

    The bearing internal clearance is defined as the total distance through which one bearing ring can be moved relative to the other under zero measuring load.

    Why Internal clearance?


    In order to fit a bearing tightly on a shaft, it is necessary that the shaft is slightly larger than the bore of the inner ring. When the bearing is mounted, the inner ring will be expanded and consequently the space available for the rolling elements will be reduced. The reduction in space available for rolling elements when the bearing is mounted is accommodated by the internal clearance.

    Why Internal clearance?


    Steel will expand with increased temperature. In operation, the temperature of the various parts of a bearing will not remain uniform and resulting in varying degrees of expansion which is compensated by the internal clearance.

    Internal Radial Clearance


    COLD

    Reduced radial clearance

    Compression

    Clearance range
    C1 Clearance less than C2 C2 Clearance less than Normal C3 Clearance greater than Normal C4 Clearance greater than C3 C5 Clearance greater than C4

    Expansion

    WARM

    The internal clearance required is dependent upon the mounting fit and the operating conditions. In case of doubt, a bearing with greater internal clearance shall always be selected.
