Fitting and clamping of bearing rings

Bearings are typically located axially on shafts or in housings with either precision lock nuts (fig 1) or end caps. These components require high geometrical precision and good mechanical strength to provide reliable locking.

fig 1 The tightening torque Mt, obtained by tightening the precision lock nut or bolts in the end cap, must prevent relative movement of adjacent components, provide correct bearing positioning without deformation and minimize material fatigue. Calculating the tightening torque M t It is difficult to accurately calculate the tightening torque Mt. The following formulas can be used as guidelines, but should be verified during operation. The axial clamping force for a precision lock nut or the bolts in an end cap is Pa = Fs + (NcpFc) + G The tightening torque for a precision lock nut is Mt=K Pa =K [Fs + (NcpFc) + G] The tightening torque for the bolts in an end cap is Mt=K Pa / Nb =K [Fs + (NcpFc) + G] / Nb where Mt =tightening torque [Nmm] Pa =axial clamping force [N] Fs =minimum axial clamping force (table) [N] Fc =axial fitting force (table) [N] G =bearing preload prior to mounting (table) [N] Ncp=the number of preloaded bearings Nb =the number of bolts in the end cap K =a calculation factor dependent on the thread (table)
