(Conrad)

Question 7

What loads can a single row deep groove bearing support?

Answer 7

Radial
Although it can take combination and moderate axial loads in both directions

Question 8

What is a single row deep groove ball bearings toleration for angular misalignment?

Answer 8

Very low

Question 9

Where is the single row deep groove ball bearings contact angle?

Answer 9

It changes with the direction of the loading bearing

Question 10

What is the difference between the single row deep groove ball bearing and the maximum capacity deep groove ball bearing?

Answer 10

The maximum capacity bearing is assembled with more balls

Question 11

What is the radial load capacity of the maximum capacity deep groove ball bearing in comparison to the single row deep groove ball bearing?

Answer 11

Higher radial load capacity

Question 12

What is the axial load capacity of the maximum capacity deep groove ball bearing in comparison to the single row deep groove ball bearing?

Answer 12

Much less

Question 13

What is the significance of the radial load on a double row deep groove ball bearing?

Answer 13

Higher radial load capacity without increasing the radial dimensions

Question 14

What is the double row deep groove ball bearing limited to?

Answer 14

Radial loads do to the filling slots

Question 15

What are the 3 types of deep groove ball bearings?

Answer 15

Single row
Maximum capacity
Double row

Question 16

When are internally self aligning ball bearings used?

Answer 16

Answer 25

Increases Increase

Question 26

How can you adjust the internal clearance (pre load) on a single row angular contact ball bearing?

Answer 26

Move the inner or outer rings axially

Question 27

Answer 27

Precision

Question 28

What loads can double row angular contact ball bearings take?

Answer 28

Heavy radial and axial loads

Question 29

How does double row angular contact ball bearings tolerate misalignment?

Answer 29

They don’t.

Question 30

What’s the benefit of using double row angular contact ball bearings?

Answer 30

Requires less axial space than two single row angular contact ball bearings

Question 31

How would you find the bore size of a 32208 bearing?

Answer 31

08 x 5 40

Question 32

How would we check the clearance on pillow block bearings that are stopped but NOT disassembled

Answer 32

Use a pry bar and dials

Question 33

Why would you select a C2 type bearing over a standard anti friction bearing?

Answer 33

We require a slightly tighter fit Typically for less noise and vibration
