4 Mounting of Bearings
Besides specifying the type and number of bearings, we have to
consider how to mount the pair of bearings, including
Axial position;
Fit between bearings and other components;
Clearance adjustment;
Sealing and lubrication.
1. types of shafting
(1) Fixed at both ends
For 60000 type, 70000 type
and 30000 type bearing;
Both ends are fixed;
Axial clearance 0.25-0.4mm;
Slight thermal expansion.
(2) One end fixed in two ways, the other end free

2. Sealing
To operate in dirty or moist environments;
Seals or shields can be provided on either or both sides of the
rolling elements;
Shields are typically metal and are fixed to the stationary race,
but remain clear of the rotating race;
Seals are made of elastomeric materials and do contact the
rotating race;
Permanently lubricated: Bearings fitted with both seals and
shields, and pre-charged at the factory with grease.
Non-contact type
Combined type

Felt ring seal:
<5m/s;
Only for grease.

3. Bearing Stiffness
Stiffness is the deflection that a given bearing undergoes
when carrying a given load.
Commonly, the radial stiffness is most important.
Generally, the softer the bearing (low stiffness), the lower the
critical speed of the shaft assembly.
Stiffness is measured in the units used for springs, such as
Newton per meter.
The stiffness values are quite high, with values of 87.56103
to 175.12103 N/m.
For a precise device, the stiffness of bearings need to be
considered.
