Internal Clearance

Internal clearance of a ball bearing affects life, noise, vibration and temperature generation, so it is extremely important to select the optimum radial clearance for each application. The different types of internal clearance of ball bearing are:
radial clearance; axial clearance; and moment clearance.
 
1. Radial Clearance (Gr)
2. Axial Clearance (Gt)
3. Moment Clearance (θ)
