Specialized Configuration<br />

Sets of three or more bearings are sometimes used in special cases having requirements for<br />

increased stiffness or capacity, where the shaft or housing size cannot be changed to<br />

accommodate larger bearings. (See Figure 7.)<br />

Rigidity<br />

To achieve the best possible rigidity:<br />

Figure 9. Mounting the bearings in sets<br />

- minimise the distance between the front support position and the <strong>spindle</strong> nose.<br />

- bearing spacing (between rear and front supports) should be fairly short. As a guideline, a<br />

ratio l/d = 2,5-3 provides the best compromise, where are:<br />

l= distance between the rearmost bearing row and the first front side bearing row;<br />

d= bore diameter of the first bearing<br />
