Operation under combined load
The raceway geometry allows load to be transmitted at an angle to the shaft axis. In a real assembly, this links bearing selection to the direction of the axial force, the distance between supports, and the required stiffness of the entire system.
Balancing load and adjustment
- Radial load.
- Axial force and its direction.
- Pair arrangement.
- Axial clearance or preload.
- Operating temperature.
- Inner- and outer-ring fits.
- Housing and shaft stiffness.
- Required service life for the given duty.
