Im also thinking it could effect your insallation ratio of the...

    We've run mainly deep groove ball bearings and recently we have tried needle rollers for an inboard bellcrank assembly in a small racecar, both work. We used these types because they only allow rotation in one plane. Not exacly sure how this bellcrank will work with the spherical bearings you...

    Hi, Im after a more accurate roll inertia value for medium sized sedan style cars (around the 1200 - 1600kg mark). I have a value for formula style cars at 140 kg.m^2 (3300lb.ft^2) although im guessing this is much too low to apply to road cars. Anyone have any more accurate ball park figuers...

    Bearing Press fit

    Try www.matweb.com it has data for almost every material you'll play with. 6061 has an expansion coefficient of about 24e-6 m/(m.C) or about 13e-6 in/(in.F).
