Dimensions - clearance
The geometry of the bearing should be calculated according to the figure. The tolerance band for the bearing inside diameter is shown in the table below. Operating temperature and bearing load are decisive factors in the choice of clearance class.
The values in the table are based on a shaft tolerance h7 (h6, h8).
For application involving operating temperature above 150°C please contact Johnson Metall AB, whose engineers will help you.
The figures in the column headed "After fitting" refer to the resulting dimensions if the outside diameter of the bearing is manufactured with a tolerance of r7. The bearing clearance can be calculated from the table values considering a shaft tolerance of h7.
Making a decision is a complex operation: if you have a problem or would like some guidance, do not hesitate to contact Johnson Metall AB, whose tribologists will be pleased to help you.

The bearing is chamfered as shown.
