Some bearings also require adjustment, changing the gap between the rolling elements and the raceways. Proper adjustment is critical to obtaining the desired stiffness in the application. Improper adjustment can greatly shorten bearing life.

One of the great advantages of the tapered roller bearing is that can be adjusted for different applications. Precisely varying the gap, or “clearance,” between the rollers and the races can have an enormous affect on the bearing’s operating characteristics and life.

This hands-on course will teach you how to properly adjust a tapered roller bearing to achieve the desired operating characteristics.
