THE DESIGNING OF THE BEARINGS CONFIGURATION
Table 12 shows the most typical hardness curve, the required hardness value is the Vickers harness transformed from the related tension value.
The minimum quenching hardness is mainly related with the diameter of the rolling body , the strain of the materials , the core hardness of the materials and the quenching method.
For the case of tray , the its stable load reaches Co (Hertz tension PH=4000N/mm2) , its required quenching hardness will be decided by the following formulas: Surface quenching
Eht¡Ý0.078.Dw  .............................................( 42)
Flame or induction quenching Rht¡Ý140.Dw/Rp0.2    ........................................(43)
                 Eht                       mm
              Effective surface quenching hardness depth
                 Rht                       mm
              Quenched hardness penetrating depth (for flame or induction quenching)
                 Dw                        mm
Diameter of the rolling body
Rp0.2                    N/mm2 0.2% of the material central elastic limit tension When the load is less than P=Co or Dw>100mm, experiments show that the quenching hardness depth can be less than the results of formulas (42) or (43).The quenched hardness must not be less than 0.3mm after final abrasion.
The surface precision of the tray
The selection of the surface precision of the tray is depended on the operational condition requirements of the bearings. To fully develop the load capacity of the bearing, the roughness of the tray surface should be Rz1(Ra0.2). For lower requirements, the surface roughness can be lowered down to Rz4(Ra0.8).But for those operation which needs higher stability and low noise , the tray should be ground or super ground so that the minimum ripple surface can be reached.
The dimensional tolerances between the needle and retainer assembly and the punched outer ring tray are shown in the technical remarks before the dimension table of this brochure . the dimensional tolerances of the trays of the needle bearings without inner ring are shown in Table 16. The round tolerances will be no greater than 25% of the associated dimensional tolerances while the parallel tolerances are 50%.
When needle and retainer assembly is used, the width of the tray , after the subtraction of the chamfered sized ( or the radium of the circular angle) , should be enough to ensure that the full width of the retainer will have enough guiding surface .

The designing of the tray for the roller bearings

               To reach the rigidity and load capacity the highest possibly while the spaces used can be saved as much
          as possible,  CJSRTL bearings without rings are recommended. The rolling bodies are directly on the shaft or
          rolling in the bearing holes such as the needle and retainer assembly, non-inner needle bearings and punched 
          outer ring needle clutches etc. Special attention should be paid to the followings points:
               Material
               To fully reach the load capacity of the bearing, be sure that its surface hardness should be 670—840 HV 
          during the selection of the roll bearing tray materials with enough quenched hard depth .Its purity  requi-
          rements are the same as generally high quality steel. The following steels are specially recommended for the
          rolling body tray materials.
                lThoroughly quenched steel
           In special cases, these rolling bearing steel can be surface quenched.
lSurface quenched steel When selecting the materials, the hardness at the center should be considered besides the quenching hardness. During surface quenching treatment, first selection should be those with fine grain structure and its effective quenched hard depth in compliance with formula (42). lFlame quenched steel or induction quenched steel the flame or induction quenching can be only effected tray position on the machined parts. The pre- condition of selecting material is still the quenchable hardness. Tempering process should be made before quenching hardness treatment.

trays must get enough quenched 
hard depth Ht beside its surface
hardness of 670-40HV(for surface
quenching, the effective hard

quenching hardness penetrate 
depth should be Rht for flame or
induction quenching. The defini-
tion of quenching hard depth is: 
the vertical distance between the
surface and the place where the 
hardness is 550HV.

The effect of temperature on the dimension stability

                The organizational structure inside the commonly standard bearing materials will change with the
           operational temperature exceeds + 120¡æ which will cause the variation of the bearing size. Therefore, 
           to ensure the normal operation of the bearings  under high temperature , the bearings must go through
           dimensional stability treatment . In  this case , we  must also consider the decrease of the material
           hardness caused thence. For small bearings,the dimensional stability requirements usually are not very
           high . But to guarantee the  stability combination  and the initial radical clearance of the big scale
           bearings, at least the inner rings should be dimensional stabilization treated. This can be expressed
           with different additional codes as per the different operational temperature requirements.
 

The radical positioning of the rolling beaeings

            The following factors must be considered in the positioning to the rolling bearings:
                l        ROTATION STATE
                 The rotation state means the movements of the bush rings in relation with the load directions..
Rotation load: bearing bush ring rotates while load remains standstill or vise ad versa . Both of these cases belong to rotating load states . Under the rotating loads , if the combination to the shaft or bearing seats is too loose , deviation will occur on the bearing bush ring position .The- refore more compacted combination must be ensured to avoid such position deviation. The heavier the load is , the greater of the bush ring dimension should be and the more compacted combination should be chosen.
Spot load : when bearing bush ring load are still , or when the bearing bush ring and load are rotating with the same speed, the two cases are regarded still loads. In this case , comparatively looser combination can be selected because at this time , no position deviation will change on the bearing bush ring.
Variable load direction: the irregularly changing load , the rocking load or impact and vibrating load are all called variable load direction, more compacted combination of the two bush rings must be selected.
l   LOAD TYPE AND NATURE For the bush ring of the rotating load or the variable load, the greater the load is, the more ¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡compacted combination should be. ¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡ l THE BEARING TYPE AND SIZE Table 14 only shows the bearing seat hole tolerances only used for steel or cast iron bearing seats while Table 15 shows the shaft tolerances for the solid shaft. More compacted combination should be used in the cases of bearing seats made of light metal or the hollow shaft . The shaft tolerances for the needle bearings without inner rings are listed in Table 16.
From the factors mentioned above,it is clear that it is impossible to find a selective principle that contains all the combination tolerances for all combinations under all factors. Therefore , allthe figures listed in the tables will be regarded as reference values only.

¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡After the tolerance limited of the shaft and the bearing seat is chosen, the  working clearance must be rechecked.
¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡Greater radical clearance is needed for tolerances of n6 and p6.
