27
Q

What happens to the clearance of the bearing as it wears?

A

Becomes larger

28
Q

4 Benefits of keeping machine clean

A

Allows better visual inspection
Better heat dispatch
Reduces chances of contamination entering bearing
Protects the integrity of the machine

29
Q

What does rs stand for?

A

Rubbing seal

30
Q

What is the main disadvantage of non-contact seals?

A

Don’t provide a positive sealand cannot retain oil, only grease

31
Q

What is axial load?

A

Side to side

32
Q

What is radial load?

A

Up and down

33
Q

What is a series 6 bearing

A

Single row deep Groove ball bearing. Pg 33 ilm

34
Q

Another word for plain linear bearings.

A

Slides or sliding - element bearings.

35
Q

What is the angle of loaded zone on a roller thrust bearing

A

360°

36
Q

What type of contact does a ball have with the raceway of bearing?

A

Point

37
Q

When would solid bearings be used?

A

When speed and load are low , designed to be in places where the load is applied to the top part of the bearing

38
Q

When would angle bearings be used?

A

When the load his applied parallel to, or at a slight angle to, the horizontal.
When the bearing is mounted on a vertical support.

39
Q

Journal and pillow block bearings with anti-friction material liners are commonly used for ?

A

Low to medium speed and for light to heavy loads.

40
Q

What is a mandrel ?

A

Dummy shaft

41
Q

What is another name for interference fit?

A

Press fit

42
Q

What are bushings?

A

One-piece liners and can be made from any common bearing materials

43
Q

How is thrust controlled in a plain bearing?

A

By A shaft collar fastened on the shaft, or by a thrust washer backed by A sprocket or by any other hub

44
Q

How is thrust in a shaft controlled?

A

By the shaft shoulder and a collar that adjust the amount of end float

45
Q

What is endfloat?

A

The amount the shaft moves axially in a bearing

46
Q

What kind of speeds and loads should the Kingsbury thrust bearing take?

A

High speeds and heavy loads.

47
Q

What are the basic parts of anti- friction bearing?

A

Two hardened steel rings , the hardened balls or rollers and the separator.

48
Q

What speeds are ball bearings suited for?

A

High-speeds (40,000 rpm)

49
Q

What speeds are roller bearings applied to?

A

Low-speed application.

50
Q

How is the speed of a bearing expressed?

A

Rpm or rubbing speed.

51
Q

Clearance markings , C1, C2,C3,C4, C5. Which has the smallest clearance?

A

C1 has the smallest clearance.

52
Q

What does push fit mean?

A

Bearing was installed by hand without mechanical aid.

53
Q

What is creep in a bearing?

A

Is the very slow rotation of a push -fit bearing race.
Creep changes The contact area on the raceway and extends the life of the bearing

Q

Back to back arrangements are used when the gutter ring is a blank??? Fit.

A

Press fit

55
Q

Face to face arrangements are used when the inner ring is a blank???? Fit

A

Press fit

Q

For standard - clearance , spherical roller bearings only, when No tables are available , a rule of thumb is to reduce the initial clearance by roughly blank??? Percent.

A

50 percent

57
Q

Another rule of thumb is to convert the last two digits of the bearing number by

A

Ten-thousand of an inch

58
Q

What bearings are design to carry axial loads?

A

Thrust bearings

What are two forms of lip contact seals?

A

Commercial seals
Felt seals

60
Q

Symptoms of bearing failure

A

Temperature rise
increased vibration
Unusual noise

61
Q

Rule of thumb - faster it spins , less blank??? It needs

A

Less grease

62
Q

What is a #6 bearing?

A

Single-row , radial ball bearing

63
Q

What ISO bearing code represents an angular contact bearing?
