adial Play<br />
Radial play is the radial internal looseness between the balls and the races,<br />
and is the measured value of the total movement of one ring with respect to<br />
the other in a plane perpendicular to the bearing axis. Factors that require<br />
control of radial play are:<br />
• Speeds<br />
• Loads<br />
• Thermal conditions<br />
• Mounting fits<br />
• Axial motion<br />
• Deflection rates<br />
Improper selection of radial play can affect bearing torque and the overall<br />
running performance, which will result in premature bearing failure.<br />
Please see the reference chart below for radial play ranges. For more<br />
information regarding your specific application, please contact one of <strong>LMS</strong><br />
