LUBRICATION
Lubrication is essential to prevent premature ball operating efficiency. Conventional types fall into the
bearing failure. Probably the most critical factor in main- classifications of oil or grease, each with specific
taining operating conditions, the lubricant functions to: properties correct for different bearing applications.
Generally, grease is the preferred choice due to its ease
1) minimize friction between balls and raceways,
of application and maintenance, performing well in the
2) act as a preventative against rust and corrosion, 0°F to 300°F operating range. Oil, however, does
function better in extreme temperature conditions, below
3) dissipate heat build-up, and –40°F or above 350°F.
4) provide a barrier against the entry of foreign matter. The following chart recommends the ten key lubricants

RADIAL INTERNAL CLEARANCE
Radial internal clearance is a measure of the radial dependent on many factors such as shaft alignment,
looseness, or play between the inner and outer rings. shaft and housing fits, bearing speed, etc. As RPM,
Precision bearings are available in five classes of shaft misalignment, and press fits increase in magni-
looseness. The amount of looseness necessary is tude, so should radial play.
