Bearing cleanliness
Bearing fits are also related to the required operating accuracy and easiness of mounting and dismounting. For example, to reduce resilience and vibration, clearance fits should generally not be used for bearings where high demands are placed on running accuracy. Bearings seating on the shaft and in the housing should be made to narrow dimensional tolerances, corresponding at least to grade 5 for the shaft and at least to grade 6 for the housing.

Wheels on stationary axles |
All shaft diameters | g6 | Use g5 and h5 where accuracy is required. In case of large bearings, f6 can be used to allow easy axial movement. | |

Normal or heavy loads | Automotive wheel hubs, Vibrating screens | N7 | In the case of K7 or JS7(J7) is an alternative. If axial displacement of the outer ring is not required, K7 is applied.If axial displacement of outer ring is necessary, JS7 (J7) is applied |
Light or variable loads | Conveyor roller, Rope sheaves, Tension pulleys | M7 | |||

Rotating Inner ring load |
Loads of all kinds | General bearing application, Railway axle boxes | H7 |
For heavy loads, interference fit tighter than K is used. When high accuracy is required, very strict tolerances should be used for fitting. |

Solid Housing |
Accurate running Desirable under normal and light loads | Grinding Spindle rear ball bearings, high Speed Centrifugal Compressor free bearings | JS6(J6) | ||
Direction of load Indeterminate | Grinding spindle front ball bearings, High speed centrifugal compressor fixed bearings | K6 | |||
Rotating inner ring load |
Minimum noise is required | Electrical home appliance | H6 |
Notes: The above form is for steel housing, if alnico housing, the interference shall be bigger than the above.
