Bearing selection
When selecting bearings for any purpose, ultimately you want to be certain of achieving the required level of equipment performance, and robustness, at the lowest possible cost. There are key factors you must consider when putting together the bearing specifications for an application.
 
  • Installation space. Bearing can be installed in target equipment.
  • Load. Load magnitude, type and direction which applied.
  • Rotational speed. Response to rotational speed of equipment in which bearings will be installed.
  • Running accuracy.
  • Rigidity.
  • Misalignment.
  • Mounting and dismounting  methods

To select the correct bearing it is important to understand  Bearing dimensions and codes
