The Types of NTN Bearing Tolerances

NTN Bearing Tolerances

NTN bearing tolerances are classified into two major categories: dimensional and running accuracy. The dimensional accuracy of the bearing is a measure of the size, geometry, and position of its key components. This includes measurements such as the bore diameter, outer diameter, width, and overall running clearance. On the other hand, the running accuracy of NTN bearings refers to their ability to rotate smoothly at high speeds without any significant wobbling or vibration.

Understanding Dimensional Bearing Tolerances

  • Dimensional tolerances are an important aspect of bearing design, as they define the size and shape of the bearing components that mate with each other. NTN uses various methods to ensure dimensional accuracy, including CNC machining, grinding, and honing.
  • The dimensional tolerances that NTN bearings conform to are commonly expressed as a range of values, which are given as a deviation from the nominal (target) value. For example, the bore diameter may be specified as being 17 mm +/- 0.02 mm. This means that the bore diameter can vary within a range of 16.98 mm to 17.02 mm, while still being acceptable for its intended application.

1) “ABEC” is applied for ball bearings and “RBEC” for roller bearings.
Notes: 1. JIS B 1514, ISO 492 and 199, and DIN 620 have the same specification level.
2. The tolerance and allowance of JIS B 1514 are a little different from those of AFBMA standards.

The following is a list of codes and symbols used in the bearing
tolerance standards tables. However, in some cases the code
or symbol definition has been abbreviated.

Factors that Affect Dimensional Tolerances

  • Several factors can affect the dimensional tolerances of NTN bearings, including the precision of the manufacturing process, the type of material used, and the environmental conditions in which they are used. For example, a bearing that is exposed to higher temperatures may experience some thermal expansion, which can affect its tolerance levels. Additionally, the type of lubricant used can also affect the dimensional tolerances of the bearing, as some lubricants can cause swelling or shrinkage of the bearing components over time.
  • Running Accuracy and Tolerances
    Running accuracy of NTN bearings is a measurement of their ability to rotate smoothly at high speeds without any significant wobbling or vibration. The running accuracy is often expressed as a total runout (TIR) value or a radial internal clearance (RIC) value. The TIR value refers to the maximum distance that the center axis of the bearing can deviate from its true axis of rotation, while the RIC value refers to the clearance between the rolling elements and the raceway of the bearing. Both of these values are important in ensuring that the bearing operates smoothly and efficiently.
  • Achieving Optimal Performance with NTN Bearings
    When selecting and using NTN bearings, it is essential to consider both dimensional and running accuracies, as well as other factors such as load capacity, operating temperature, and lubrication requirements. Regular maintenance and testing should also be performed to monitor the performance of the bearings and identify any potential issues. By understanding the importance of bearing tolerances and taking the necessary steps to maintain their performance, you can ensure that your NTN bearings operate at peak efficiency, providing reliable and long-lasting service for your applications.

Conclusion:

  • In summary, understanding the tolerances of NTN bearings is crucial for achieving optimal performance and reliability. Dimensional tolerances ensure that the bearings are the correct size and shape, while running accuracy ensures that they rotate smoothly without any significant vibration.
  • Factors such as precision of manufacturing, material used, and environmental conditions can affect the dimensional tolerances, while load capacity, operating temperature, and lubrication requirements are important considerations for running accuracy. By following best practices for bearing selection and maintenance, you can ensure that your NTN bearings provide reliable and consistent service for your applications.
