Module 6. Materials & hardware

Where heat is likely to be transmitted through a bearing

  • group 2 bearings are used.
  • group 4 bearings are used.
  • group 3 bearings are used.

Explanation

Where heat is liable to pass through a bearing, the higher tolerance group (group 4) is specified so that thermal expansion does not reduce the running clearance below acceptable limits. A tighter group would risk the bearing seizing as the components grow with temperature.

EgiGol asking:

where could i find info about groups

Bearing Clearance and Classification in "Bearings Chapter". Also the "DOT Method" is described there.
