Axial Bearing Installation : with and without washer Washer
(OP)
What is the difference between installing a bearing on :
- Housing Steel shoulder (bearing outer ring touch the housing shoulder)
- Steel washer (between housing and bearing is a washer)
If Housing is aluminum, I may understand, to prevent the wearing, but if housing is steel, what would be the benefit of Washer ?

Using selective fit at assembly of incremental thickness washer/spacer/shim sets allows precise control of axial preload/clearance/position without having to machine the shoulder faces of mating housings to tight location tolerances. http://www.northernindmfg.com/selective-fit-precis...
