Tapered roller bearings can be set at initial machine assembly to any desired axial or radial clearance.Tapered roller bearings do not require tight control of shaft or housing fits to obtain setting. Tapered roller bearings are mounted in pairs, Tapered roller bearings setting is primarily dependent upon the axial location of one bearing row relative to the opposite row.<\/p>\n

Manual methods:<\/h3>\n

Manual methods are frequently used to set tapered roller bearing on a variety of equipment with low to moderate volume production requirements whereby a non- exact, primarily end play, setting range variation is acceptable. No special tooling, gauges, charts or fixtures are typically required, but assembler\u2019s skill and judgment are necessary.<\/p>\n

Automated setting:<\/h3>\n

Large equipment or high production tapered roller bearing applications, manual setting may be too troublesome, of inappropriate accuracy and reliability, or too time consuming. The Loyal Company has devised preset bearing assemblies and automated setting techniques as alternatives to manual setting.<\/p>\n

To determine a suggested ambient bearing setting for a specific application, contact a Loyal sales engineer or representative.<\/p>\n
