Running accuracy
Radial runout of assembled bearing inner ring(Kia)
The radial runout of the inner ring (Kia) shall be obtained as the difference between the maximum value and the minimum value of the readings of the measuring instrument, when the inner ring has been rotated through one rotation.
[Note]
The measurement of the radial runout of the inner ring of cylindrical roller bearings, machined ring needle roller bearings, selfaligning ball bearings and spherical roller bearings shall be carried out by fixing the outer ring with ring supports.
Radial runout of assembled bearing outer ring(Kea)
The measurement of outer ring runout (Kea) shall be obtained as the difference between the maximum value and the minimum value of the readings of the measuring instrument, when the outer ring has been rotated through one rotation.
[Note]
The measurement of the radial runout of the outer ring of cylindrical roller bearings, machined ring needle roller bearings, self-aligning ball bearings and spherical roller bearings shall be carried out by fixing the inner ring with ring supports.
Axial runout of assembled bearing inner ring(Sia)
The axial runout of the inner ring (Sia) shall be obtained as the difference between the maximum value and the minimum value of the readings of the measuring instrument, when the inner ring has been rotated through one rotation.
Axial runout of assembled bearing outer ring(Sea)
The axial runout of the outer ring (Sea) shall be obtained as the difference between the maximum value and the minimum value of the readings of the measuring instrument, when the outer ring has been rotated through one rotation.
Perpendicularity of inner ring face with respect to the bore(Sd)
Perpendicularity of inner ring face (Sd) shall be obtained as the difference between the maximum value and the minimum value of the readings of the measuring instrument, when the inner ring has been rotated through one rotation with the tapered arbor.
Perpendicularity of outer ring outside surface with respect to the face(SD)
Perpendicularity of outer ring outside surface (SD) shall be obtained as the difference between the maximum value and the minimum value of the readings of the measuring instrument, when the outer ring has been rotated through one rotation along the guide stopper.
Shaft/central race raceway to back face thickness variation of thrust ball bearing with flat back face(Si)
The measurement of the thickness variation (Si) of shaft race raceway track shall be obtained as the difference between the maximum value and the minimum value of the readings of the measuring instrument, when the shaft race has been rotated through one rotation along the guide stopper. For the central race, carry out the same measurement for the two raceway grooves to obtain the thickness variation of the raceway track (Si).
Housing race raceway to back face thickness variation of thrust ball bearing with flat back face(Se)
The measurement of the thickness variation (Se) of housing race raceway track shall be obtained as the difference between the maximum value and the minimum value of the readings of the measuring instrument, when the housing race has been rotated through one rotation along the guide stopper.
