Bore

Machine tools; Bearings

The smallest internal dimension of inner or outer ring or separator. Also, the surface of the inner ring that fits against the shaft.

Bore corner

Machine tools; Bearings

The maximum shaft fillet radius that will provide for proper bearing fit.

Bench test

Machine tools; Bearings

A modified service test in which service conditions are approximated using conventional laboratory equipment, not necessarily application-identical equipment.

Basic dynamic load rating

Machine tools; Bearings

Basic dynamic load rating, Cr, is the calculated constant radial load (thrust load for thrust bearings) which a group of identical bearings with stationary outer rings can theoretically endure for ...

Closed-end bearing

Machine tools; Bearings

A drawn cup bearing where one end of the cup has a solid face, which fully encloses that end of the bearing. This allows the housing to be through bored (straight housing). The closed end of the ...

Caged bearing

Machine tools; Bearings

Similar to a full complement bearing, except that there are fewer rollers, allowing room for the cage.
