What should be dimension of press fit on this shaft?
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. So he ordered some bar stock that has to be machined. I told him to look it up in Machinerys Handbook for the tolerance but he got it all wrong. When i tried to find it in there i found the newer additions were a little confusing. So all i want to know is if our bearing is 1.5000 what should the shaft be turned down to. The width of bearing is about two inches. Thanks Rosco |

If the ground stock is within a thousanth or so of 1.500" you can lock
the bearing to the shaft with Loctite bearing compound, available at most hardware and auto supply stores.

Thanks Rosco I had a high-speed shaper with 1.5" shaft and 2 matched Barden bearings on one end. We made the shaft about .00025" - .0005" big (depending on the temp) We heated the bearings on a lightbulb and seated them with a length of tube and a hammer. I have since sold the shaper. |

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. Wes |

Wes The info with the bearing only mentioned to use a presss fit if used with a heavy load. I'm going to make shaft .001 over and that seems about right. |
