Bearing Design Problems
Bearing Design Problems
(OP)
Overview of the issue.
The outer race is 360 degrees with an opening for installing the ball bearings.
The inner race is machined for about 310 degrees.
There is no "spacer" of any sort to keep the ball bearings separated.
It only takes a small rotation to cause the bearing to "jam".
Is such a design workable? The designer things the balls should "slide".

RE: Bearing Design Problems
Is this true of both outer and
inner races? Sounds like a strange
design. Is this an axial bearing
or a radial bearing?
