Bearing size list
Bearings come in a variety of different sizes, depending on the size of the shaft and the application requirements. Since they are used in all types of industries, they need to be available in a variety of application sizes, from skateboard wheels to oil drill bits. How are these bearing sizes determined?
How to Determine Bearing Size
Bearings are measured by their inner diameter, outer diameter, and width; bearing sizes are usually listed as follows: ID x OD x W. These measurements are usually in millimeters, but can be converted to inches. In fact, most manufacturers and suppliers provide both imperial and metric bearing measurements.
Bearing Size Selection
A bearing size list is a detailed document or reference that provides information about the sizes and specifications of various bearings offered by a manufacturer or supplier:
Bearing Type:
Identification of the type of bearing, such as ball bearings, roller bearings, spherical bearings, needle bearings, etc.
Outer Diameter (OD):
The diameter of the outer ring of the bearing, indicating the size of the housing or structure that will contain the bearing.
Width (W) or Height:
The width or height of the bearing, specifying its thickness and providing information on how much space it occupies.
Part Number:
A unique alphanumeric code assigned to each bearing for easy identification and ordering.
Inner Diameter (ID):
The diameter of the bore or inner ring of the bearing, specifying the size of the shaft it can accommodate.
Cage Type:
Information about the type of cage material and design used in the bearing, such as steel, brass, plastic, or other alloys.
Seals and Shields:
Indication of whether the bearing has seals or shields, and the type of protection they offer against contaminants.
Load Ratings:
Dynamic and static load ratings indicating the maximum loads the bearing can handle, both radially and axially.
Clearance:
Internal clearance, specifying the amount of internal play within the bearing. This can include C0 (standard), C2 (small clearance), C3 (larger clearance), etc.
Precision Class:
Precision level or class of the bearing, specifying the manufacturing accuracy. This can include normal precision, P6, P5, P4, etc.
Catalog Page References:
References to catalog pages or online resources where users can find more detailed information.
Temperature and Speed Ratings:
Maximum allowable operating temperatures and speeds for the bearing.
CAD Models:
Availability of computer-aided design (CAD) models or drawings for use in engineering and design applications.
Cross-Referencing Information:
Cross-referencing details that allow users to find equivalent bearings from different manufacturers.
Lubrication:
Recommendations for suitable lubricants and lubrication intervals to ensure optimal performance.
Special Features:
Information about any special features or coatings on the bearing, such as corrosion resistance, high-temperature capabilities, or special materials.
Application Guidelines:
Recommendations and guidelines for selecting the appropriate bearing based on specific application requirements.
