RELATIVE THERMAL EXPANSION

The effects of relative thermal expansions of different mating materials must also be taken into account when
calculating final radial play values for an interference-fit assembly that will be used over an extended temperature range. Thermal effects must also be considered in a preloaded bearing assembly (see preload section on pages 31-32).

Example: SR144 bearing pressed on .125 inch aluminum shaft is used at 200°F
Initial interference at 70°F = .0004
Relative expansion of shaft at 200°F = .125 x (13 - 6) x 130 x 10-6 = .0001
Interference at 200°F = .0005
SR144 inner ring thickness .018 inch, therefore interference factor fp = .4
Reduction of radial play at 200°F = .0005 x fp = .0002
