Bearings

radial load

Machine tools; Bearings

A load applied perpendicular to the axis of the shaft.

radial clearance

Machine tools; Bearings

The radial internal clearance of a single row radial contact ball bearing is the average outer ring race diameter, minus the average inner ring race diameter, minus twice the ball diameter.

radial deviation

Machine tools; Bearings

The amount of deviation from the true circular form.

radial internal clearance

Machine tools; Bearings

Also called radial clearance. It is the total distance the inner ring (or shaft) may be displaced relative to the outer ring of an assembled, installed bearing.

raceway diameter

Machine tools; Bearings

Inner Ring -- the outer dimension across the diameter from raceway bottom to raceway bottom. Outer Ring -- the inner dimension across the diameter from raceway bottom to raceway bottom.

raceway

Machine tools; Bearings

The ball or roller path; cut in the inner and outer ring in which the balls or rollers ride. Also Guide Path; Race; Ball Path; Roller Path.

Sensor-Pac bearing

Machine tools; Bearings

A light-duty packaged bearing that includes a sensing system for antilock brake and traction control systems.
