Bearing/Housing Design<br />

• Problem: Steel (α = 7 µin/in°F) bearing<br />

installed in Aluminum (α = 13.1 µin/in°F)<br />

housing. Over a wide temperature range<br />

the mismatch can cause the bearing to<br />

spin in housing or seize.<br />

• Solution: Install appropriately-sized Invar<br />

(α = 0.7 µin/in°F) sleeve between bearing<br />

and housing. Sleeve size is chosen taking<br />

into account elastic deformation <strong>of</strong><br />

bearing race, sleeve, and housing.<br />

Preload is provided by interference<br />

(shrink) fit <strong>of</strong> sleeve in housing.<br />
