[PSUBS-MAILIST] Press Fit

[emile via Personal_Submersibles]

Hi Alan,

Press fit is good for a durable bearing construction. 
Force is not leading, you're to late when the force is too high... You can
find in a bearing handbook how much the diameter difference should be.
Is about 0,02 to 0,03 mm  for small /medium bearings.
Loctite 638 or 603 is a alternative.

Br, Emile

Hi,
I'm wanting to press fit a bearing in to my aluminium thruster housing &
wondering if I could make a tool slightly less in diameter than my bearing,
fit it in the lathes tail stock, & wind it in to force the bearing in to the
press fit.
   I have heard figures like 500lb force being used for press fitting, which
I won't get winding the tail stock, & probably don't require as there is not
a lot of dynamic force on the bearing. 
   I imagine there will be a lot of trial & error involved getting the bore
to the right diameter, & this method will allow me to keep the work in the
chuck & keep doing fine passes until I get it to the right diameter.
Any thoughts or experience with this thanks.
Alan
