They usually come with every new housing. They are best used closest to the driver (motor, on the head pulley) but in your...

    Water Vapor in Bearing Cavity

    The environment is the key issue. If the bearing is in machine in a climate controlled factory the humidity effect should be minimal. The type of grease used is the other important factor. The other option is to use open bearings and provide enough lubrication to buffer against the external...

    The short answer to your question is "yes" a larger internal clearance will handle more misalignment but the trade off is in the radial load. Hence, the "C0" clearance will handle more load. The reason for different clearances is to accomodate various shaft/housing fits, temps and application...
