What is the normal bearing clearance permitted at the horizontal axis of the shaft for the bearing shown in the illustration? Illustration MO-0121
The normal play on both sides of the shaft will be one tenth of a millimeter.
The tolerances established are dependent on machining processes used and will vary amongst manufacturers.
The clearance on one side of the shaft at the axis will be one twentieth of a millimeter.
The clearance is determined by the thickness of the hydrodynamic wedge formed and is not usually measured while underway.
