Bearing selection examples This section contains several worked examples that show the bearing selection process applied to various machines and application cases. Each example is presented as a number of steps that generally follows the sequence in the bearing selection process. However, interdependencies in any particular application case may require looping back and forth between
General bearing knowledge This section provides general information that is valid for rolling bearings. Section Bearing basics contains information that all readers should know. When you have read that section you will: know what rolling bearings are know about their components have a basic understanding about materials used for rolling bearings be familiar with the
Bearing selection process When selecting bearings for any purpose, ultimately you want to be certain of achieving the required level of equipment performance – and at the lowest possible cost. Robustness also is very important because the conditions in which your equipment is assembled, operated and maintained may not be precisely known and may, in
Principles of rolling bearing selection When selecting bearings for any purpose, ultimately you want to be certain of achieving the required level of equipment performance, and robustness, at the lowest possible cost. There are key factors you must consider when putting together the bearing specifications for an application. To help you evaluate these key factors,
