SKF Flush Ground Bearings Suffix 'G"
SKF Flush Ground Bearings Suffix 'G"
(OP)
Hello All
I am a bit confused about SKF designation "G" on angular contact bearings to indicate it is flush ground for back to back mounting.I am also seeing bearings that do not have the suffix "G" that can be mounted in a back to back arrangement, ex BECBM. What is the difference here? I was of the opinion that only the bearings with the suffix "G" are to be installed as thrust bearings (back to back).
Thanks

All that needs to be done with universally ground bearings to make a "matched" set of bearings is get ID and OD with the same size codes.
In previous times the bearings had to be selectively chosen or manufactured to make a matched set.

I take it, from what you said, we need the bearing to be preloaded for this service,but i still can't understand why a bearing with a higher clearance will fail in this service so soon?!
