Clearance fit should be chosen for ease of assembly while preventing any deformation of bearings‘ outer/inner races. In general, a Clearance fit (H7) is used. In case of light loading applications (H8) can be used, or (G7) when large temperature variations are to be expected.

Rotary bearings are machine elements that support rotating shafts accurately while providing low friction conditions. In order to maintain a stable bearing performance over a prolonged duration, appropriate bearing fit design considerations are required to avoid any negative effects [Chart 1] that may arise from bearings‘ rotary operation.
