Our "engineer" bought a bearing and bar of precision ground rod. It
easily slipped through the bearing and since it had screws to lock it
down all was find untill. Untill i read the literature that came with
the bearing and it said to have a "Press Fit" if using their bearing
for "heavey loads" I just guessed that the 6,000 + lbs we were going
to support qualified. After doing some calculations our "engineer"
said i was right.
Did the bearing manual have information on the amount of interference? The reason I am
asking is a press fit is going to reduce the internal clearance of the bearing. That
isn't a bad thing since it may cause more rolling elements to support your load.
