TOLERANCES AND PRECISION CLASSES

Every GMN high-precision ball bearing results from the highest quality demands – from development to manufacturing. Minimum tolerances in dimensions, form and running precision provide the best performance and long life, and are defined by international (ISO 492) and national (DIN 620) standards. GMN high-precision ball bearings are manufactured to P4andABEC 7 to P2andABEC 9 precision classes or better.

BEARING clearance IN GROOVED BALL BEARINGS

RADIAL AND AXIAL BEARING CLEARANCE

The path around which a bearing ring can be moved from one end position to the other without a measurable load is defined as bearing clearance.

  • radial bearing clearance:  Displacement in the radial direction
  • axial bearing clearance: Displacement in the axial direction
